I've heard of this before and the reasoning stated in this article makes sense. :)

Is the wind carrying on like crazy up your way? It is here.

We had bad wind for several days, but it's calm now.

The temps are going down here and the wind is making a lot of noise, we're to get rain later...typical spring weather but it sure does a job on the flowers...

Don't know about upstate NY, but it's very windy here on the South Shore of Long Island. Not as bad as last week.
