When the wind works in your favour

We may complain about the wind chill factor or hurricane force gales, but we forget that sometimes the wind makes life easier for us.

In summer, a gusty wind can prevent biting insects from landing or feasting on anything, including you. On a humid day, wind can provide you with a longed-for and refreshing breeze.

On colder days, wind can blow snow off our walkways and driveway to create drifts elsewhere. And if the wind picks up only after the snow falls and you’ve parked your car at just the right angle, then that wind may even sweep the snow off of your car for you.

When the wind works in your favour and spares you hauling out a shovel, snowblower or snowbrush, well that’s

AWESOME!
