It has been more relentless than most other wind storms. Peaks were higher last week but this is constant long-lasting 40-55mph gusts that repeat every minute or two. 

Yes I'd like to do some work outside with the brush cutter. Now that the sleet is gone would be a great time to do it. Even if it's around 30. But factor in that wind...no thanks. 

I'm so over this wind.

WOOF:

Had a gust of 46 this afternoon.

Wind is starting here now.

Still 33 here. Heard our parking lot and all the well locations are straight up slick ice. Gonna be another fun day... 

Be careful on that ice!

Didn't get as warm as they said overnight they said it would be in the 40's till 5 am. It was only 37 at that time. 41 now.

Wind gust peak guess for Monday/Tuesday (it’s going to be awful and scary and prolonged)

JST 71
CTP 66
MDT 67
LNS 61

Just what we need...more freaking wind.

One thing I noticed last night after temps. dropped below freezing, the consistency of that sleet, freezing rain  mixture on the ground changed. Yesterday during the afternoon you could walk on it not being slippy. Last night it turned to more of to pure smooth ice. Making it quite treacherous to even try to walk on.

Yep.

Maybe this storm was a precursor of things to come. 

Still looks like strong winds Monday into later Tuesday.

I was just out using a spading shovel to chop through it making progress...but a very long way to go yet.

Crap is like cement. A plastic shovel doesn't stand a chance trying to clean up this crap.

Looks like a half inch of sleet on the ground here.

Sleet and freezing rain here. Temp 27 dp 20

Started sleeting about 10 min ago.

Temp here 28.6 dp 16
