Out here in Colorado and up into Wyoming.

It’s crazy out here. I can’t imagine pulling a trailer or driving a class A/C in this stuff. Took four tries to land in Denver due to blowing dust and winds. Kind of a bad pic but you can see all the dust blowing across the front range out near DIA.

They were predicting some fierce winds here in the midwest, so I was laying down the totes (garbage cans) after I emptied them in preparation of the winds, but they didn't really happen and now I wonder how many of my customers were wondering why their tote was laying down.

That's surely better than customers chasing one down the road.

The high wind warnings go all the way South into Texas. I have had high winds with over 50mph gust all day and yesterday, and I am about an hour NW of Dallas\Ft.Worth.

Be safe everyone. ~CA

We are getting high and gusty winds, Thunderstorms and isolated hail down South also.

It's cooling down for the weekend and hopefully Spring is right around the corner.

LOL, A lot of people don't know that the wind has a color to it if you look closely, especially high winds with your back to the wind. FYI, the color the wind makes is Blew... I just made that up... lol. Be safe everyone as certainly high winds can blew you off the road. ~CA

It’s blowing a gale here on the island of Chokoloskee! Definitely no fishing this weekend. Stay safe if you’re on the road!

We just got back from a two-night camp out at a spot just an hour away — it got down to 28* one night but still as could be. Yesterday, first day back home, we hit 91* and the winds are kicking up, causing a red flag fire alert. Mother Nature is messed up.

Snow and rain showers here pretty much all weekend in PA. A far cry from the upper 80's we had last week in Orlando.

I drove across Kansas last night. Saw a minimum of 6 tractor trailers laying on their sides and one travel trailer. All must have happened earlier in the day as there was not one emergency vehicle to be seen at any of the blow overs. This was on I 70 western half of Kansas. In one spot there was two of them within 100 yards of one another

Right!? Like it Sprung already. But temps in our area haven't spiked, instead I wake up to ground covered in snow this morning with forecast of more snow throughout the day. It's bass ackwards if you ask me.
