Fernley gets high wind warnings regularly, but just as the National Weather Service issued a blizzard warning instead of a winter weather warning for the Sierra Nevada, the high wind warning we got here was something more than usual. Gusts of up to 95 km/h (60 mph / 50 knots), which is gale force, were forecast, and while we don't have a gauge at the house, there were times when I think we might have gotten close to that.

I'd originally planned to get some groceries yesterday afternoon, but the winds were so strong that even with the Astro and driving at in-town speeds, the better part of valor was to put off the trip until this morning, when the winds slowed only 20-30 km/h. I popped out and got the perishables, and now we shouldn't have to go anywhere for a few days.
After this storm passes and the weather clears, I guess I'll need to see about finding a roofer who can repair the singles on that part of the roof that has shed them. With luck, they'll also be able to repair the roof flashing that is failing, and maybe even fix a gutter on the other side of the house. Fortunately, it doesn't look like we've lost shingles from any other part of the roof.
