can you hear the wind?

Listen. Can you hear the wind?

The forecast was for a sunny afternoon with temperatures in the 40s dropping into the teens overnight with cold for the rest of the week. I thought I might get in one last sort of warm walk before the chill returned. That wasn't to be.

Late in the afternoon rain started falling, whipped by a very strong wind. By the time I reached home the rain had stopped, the temperature had dropped to the low 30s, and the wind was howling. It was surprisingly good walking weather except for the few times when the wind almost blew me over.

Listen...
