You’re not crazy, it was THAT windy!

Thanks to the CWG folks for confirming what many people here experienced first hand….

“Did it seem like March was not only cold, but also very windy? That’s the truth: D.C. experienced the windiest March in over 30 years.”

It’s actually convenient not having to brake at a stop–just sit up straight.

I’m always amazed by people in my office when they’re surprised how cold or windy it is outside. I’m like, “No F*&k!”

Someone needs to tell the wind that it is no longer March. I’m looking for a lamb. Anyone?

Good point. Maybe this is what I get for cooking lamb on Easter. But it was yummy…

And a heat wave is coming next week.

went out late this afternoon and was shocked how strong the wind was. Didnt realize it out in the open!

Why is it always a head wind?!?!?!

Almost got knocked over while idling at Gallows rd/WO&D on the way home tonight. A gust hit me from the free foot side and I had to do some rather ungainly side hops to keep from flopping. Naturaly someone had stopped behind me.

No doubt. Commuting out of the city last evening, worst part was fighting the crosswinds on Memorial Bridge. Almost put me down twice. That said, ’twas a lot more fun than being stuck in my car!

Let’s see, hail, lightning, sleet, hurricane … yeah, it’s still better than being stuck in a car!
