Poor House

A storm is coming in tonight. All day Sunday is supposed to be stormy and it's even supposed to snow again Monday. This is after the great weather we've had all week - my flowers have all bloomed! But today it's been hella windy! We went to the Real Salt Lake (soccer) game today and we were wind blasted there. I took a walk with Lisa down the Jordan Parkway and we were wind blasted some more. I come hom and of course the wind is the worst here. Our house faces south - the direction that all the wind is coming from. So our house is facing all of the wind. It wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that there's nothing in front of our house to block any of this wind. Basically it's just flat land for miles in front our house and the wind blows straight over the mountains and smashes into our house :-/ I am always so worried that one day the wind is going to carry something with it and plow it right into our house! It seriously sounds like a major dust storm outside. I checked the local wind speeds and here they are:

We are in West Jordan, of course it's like the second highest wind speed. Syracuse is a town on the other side of those mountains to the South...so the wind must come up, hit Syracuse then come over the mountains and hit us :P My eyes cannot wait to sleep tonight because they've dried up from all the wind. Ramin's eyes are horrible looking cause they are all red :P Hopefully the loud wind doesn't keep us up all night!

Pardon, dear, Syracuse is to the north, sorta between Clearfield and Layton, towards the Great Salt Lake. No Geography in your schedule? ;)

Haha I always get Syracuse and Saratoga Springs mixed up - Saratoga Springs was the city I was thinking of that is behind the Herriman mountains :P Thanks for catching!
