Not deported yet

Air temperature 47 F, wind northwest 26 mph gusting to 46, partly cloudy. Temperature was in the mid-50s F when I got up, so the trend is negative. No point in trying to do more yard cleanup today. Should be able to survive a walk.

The blustery day

Walk achieved/survived. Wind 26 mph gusting to 47 at the airport. No cat friends, few birds. Though I did hear a song sparrow tweeting defiance from his firm grip inside a hedge. Spring does advance, slowly -- have flower buds showing on our tulips.

About that wind . . .

Maine utilities had over 13,000 power outages this afternoon. This is just wind-related, no snow or ice or flooding.
