2. Apparently it is called a 'weather bomb' and extends from Saskatchewan to Atlanta.
High winds, lots of storms, snow, ......in other words lovely!

3. You are getting what we had in OK yesterday, only in spades
We had 30-40 pretty much all day, with gusts 40+. Took care of the leaves on the trees. Today a gentle 20-25.

4. Almost windless in here.
I'm not sure what it's like outside.

It's kind of cold, the heat has come on a couple time today, and that stirs the air a bit.

6. It was windy most of the day around Detroit
And the rain just poured down, but only for about five minutes.

I was hoping the rain would blow the leaves out of my yard. No such luck.

:hi:

10. I think there were 25-54 mile gusts at times, but mostly 10-35 winds I think
It came through here (Pittsburgh) pretty quickly and then was gone.

13. It's been windy all day here in NE Illinois
I hate wind--it makes me nervous.

We're supposed to have more wind tomorrow.

It really bothers me when the house shakes.

14. Spectacularly windy. 40+kt gusts at the airport (MSP).
Lowest recorded barometric pressure ever in MN, something like 28.41. This would be a cat3 hurricane if it were warmer, a blizzard if colder. Fortunately it's just hellaciously windy.
