Winds were high & gusty yesterday though, my 7000 lb WV Cadillac got moved sideways about 2 feet at 75 mph, taking me over the right hand white line on I-79 as I was approaching the AnnMore turnoff ramp, then out of the south when I turned around & went back south to home, normally a top gear 75mph trip, it blew the automatic into passing gear 5 times in that 15 miles to the Jane Lew exit. Keeps one up on his tippy toes for sure. OTOH, I learned to drive 66+ years ago in Iowa, and that winter was legendary, still remembered by us oldtimers. Same in Nebraska. When I moved there from Rapid City where I had seen -39F on a tree in front of my house in South Canyon back in the middle 60's, the first time I went to get a hair cut in a little square block building, grandfathered into one edge of a block square city park, the first thing I noticed on the wall was a picture taken in 1950, of a smoking stovepipe sticking up out of a snowdrift. Taken from an angle that did not show the front had a shoveled path to the front door, it was that barbershop. The stove was by then, in 1971 propane gas, but it was a coal burning, pot bellied "Warm Morning" in 1950. He said he brought 2 buckets with him from his home coal shed when he opened up, and again after lunch in those days. So yeah, WV is balmy.
