Scumbag Wind

Notice late Sat night that the model forecast for Sunday has gone from blah to 12 gusts to 17.

Wake early, look at trees through window. Nothing moves.

Check computer, forecast and forecast models talking 10-15

Wait around in the morning, do some household stuff, look out the window. Still nothing.

Check forecast, still 10-15. See isobars all over MS, AL and even top NW GA.
Check station readings: S 6. Hope still is alive.

Early afternoon, still no wind. Looking at cut off time: time where I need to leave to have a decent, if quick, sesh before it gets dark.

Cut off time comes, still just a light breeze. Decided to make the best of it and hit the Silver Comet trail for a longish ride.

4 pm Silver Comet: 10-15 mph head and crosswinds.

Scumbag Wind.
