RM> I'm currently sitting here listening to the wind howling RM> through the trees. That's been happening a lot this winter RM> and I don't remember it being that frequent in the past RM> when I was staying here, but that could be a memory issue RM> rather than a weather change.. B) I don't have any cluster of trees near the house (except for one 40ft blue spruce to the East, and some weak/old/broken cherry trees to the West, both pretty close to the house where their branches can scrape the roof. So, I don't experience the howling/train sound that some people mention when they live deep within a cluster of pines. Perhaps you should compliment your windy nights with this read: * The Whisper on the Night Wind: The True History of a Wilderness Legend | Paperback Adam Shoalts Penguin Canada Biography & Autobiography / Adventurers & Explorers / Environmentalists & Naturalists / History / Expeditions & Discoveries Published May 10, 2022 https://bookmanager.com/tbm/ ?q=h.tviewer&using_sb=status&qsb=keyword&qse=rC8Hn_GwKfSDE1jzgq 8XhQ https://shoplocal.bookmanager.com/isbn/9780735241060 https://bookshop.org/a/93260/9780735241060 :D RM> The most exciting day here I remember happened in late RM> November one year. I don't think it was snowing at the RM> time but the wind was reported to have hit 165 kph (100 RM> mph) and I seriously wondered if the building would still RM> be standing the next day, being built at the top of a hill RM> and up on pillars of variable height to level the place RM> from a few inches in places to over 3 feet high, mostly at RM> the front which was the direction the wind was coming RM> from. I have a large 10ft wide spanning glass sliding door facing NW. It has sustained fairly high winds over the years where the glass flexes quite a bit. Dunno why, but there are cracking- like sounds when it does that too. -- ../|ug --- OpenXP 5.0.58 * Origin: Stare into this point intently ->.<- (1:153/757.21) SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 129/305 134/100 153/0 143 SEEN-BY: 153/148 149 151 757 6809 7715 154/30 110 203/0 218/700 221/0 SEEN-BY: 221/6 226/30 227/114 229/110 114 275 300 307 317 426 428 SEEN-BY: 229/470 664 700 705 240/1120 280/464 5003 291/111 292/854 SEEN-BY: 292/8125 301/1 310/31 320/219 322/757 341/66 234 396/45 423/120 SEEN-BY: 460/58 256 1124 5858 633/280 712/848 770/1 902/26 2320/105 SEEN-BY: 5015/46 5020/400 8912 5054/30 5075/35 5080/102 PATH: 153/757 280/464 460/58 229/426 |
