Blow Ye Winds, Heigh Ho

A new storm blew into Northern Nevada today. I saw how the storm moved over Northern California (closing I-5 and causing new chain controls and traffic holds on I-80). The leading edge of the storm, with pretty substantial winds, showed up around 1 PM. The National Weather Service has a wind advisory in place, and winds appear to be gusting up to 50 km/h — technically a "strong breeze" verging onto a "near gale." Our plans to get some work done outside were once again postponed.

We get winds like this periodically, but they're not pleasant. Fortunately, we don't have any high trees with big branches. We have neighbors who have trees that if they were on our property, I would have long since had the branches lopped off.
