Very windy night, but power came back around midnight.

One thing's for certain: the pattern flipped this month from the second half of December, when mild Pacific flow flooded the country.

I know exactly what ya mean. Not to that extend at all...I remember couple of times the wind was so strong there (had to be at least 60mph gusts, sustained at 30-35), almost broke my window protector. I avoid closing them because then it would get too hot inside. I don't have AC because the mountain provides a beautiful breeze at nite. Yes...hopefully, the trough moves a little more west and gets us w some winterstroms here in the Midwest. Texarkana in the works!!!
