Warm and Windy
23 February 2017 10:00 pmThe wind is steady at 20 mph and gusting to 30. Driving on an east-west highway with a strong, gusty north or south wind can be an exciting proposition! When I'm doing over 70, the airspeed is already noisy enough that it's easy to forget the wind. And then you drive under a bridge and the wind shear catches you by surprise. Or you crest a hill and wonder why the car seems to start bouncing. :p But it's not really a problem until it gets higher than that. Then it's smart to be careful when driving around eighteen-wheelers. Sometimes they can't help fishtailing, or edging too far over the lane on a curve. That can make highway driving a little too exciting. ;)
