Quote from: chips and more on Mar 27, 2025, 09:15 PMWinds of 70-80 mph is very common at my place. You can face the wind and lean into it at a 45° angle and not fall over. The wind is strong enough to help you keep that pose!
Some of the locals tell me it's like that here over the winter. I don't remember it that way but we'll see how it goes.  I know that I can see the White Sands Desert lifting into the air on those mornings when a storm is coming.

Not the expert, but I'm gonna say all the wind at my place has something to do with very, very mild rust on bare metal in my hobby shop during the winter months. At my last place/location I had to be very careful and oil all the steel or the rust would ruin it in one season.

So far the equipment seems happy with things so far.  In New England it was like blink and rust had flashed across everything.  I was always rubbing oil on them. :headbang:
