When the winds finally calmed down last last night, they shifted and we had a full on blizzard last night.

News this AM had video of an 18 wheeler being BLOWN off the road .
Just so you know, with 110 MPH winds you might as well have hurricanes, all your missing is the rain.

I spent a couple of months in WY a few years back, and the wind was terrible!

I can't even imagine what 110 mph is like. We had winds around 40 mph a couple times this winter and I think that was it.

110 MPH is supposed to be class 3 hurricane force. According to our local guys the peak gust that we had at our house was 76 MPH. That's why we live in a single story house.

Actually a hurricane might be better....there is some calm in the middle.

Having experienced numerous tornado, several hurricanes, snow falling horizontally at 100 mph in the near arctic and a few dozen N'or Easters, I'd take a bit of a blow in Wyoming over any of the them!

When I get deployed to hurricanes' for search & rescue they don't allow us out there until the wind is 40 mph or less because higher winds on a the semi trucks are nothing more than a giant sail and stand a chance of getting blown over even when fully loaded. When I resided in Kansas, local kids grow up believing that snow falls sideways because of non-stop winds.
