A view out the front showing storm clouds

Winter storm warning are all around us.  Not far from here there has been as much as 18″ of snow, snarling traffic and disrupting daily events.  Where we are there is no snow, but oh that wind!  We’re parked on top of a hill with a great view of Colorado Springs but that also means we are in the direct path of northerly winds.

We’re seeing sustained winds of 40MPH+, with gusts on top of that.  Last night, we pulled in our slides so our slide top awnings won’t get ripped off.  Our satellite dish is in the stowed position to protect it.  Winds are expected to continue today, then taper off tomorrow.  I hope so, this ain’t no fun!
