We have been seriously hampered in our pursuit of fish from our float tubes this year because of the persistent winds.

We have discussed driving two vehicles so we could park one down wind and just drift but your never quite sure where you might end up.

The next seven-day forecast doesn't look any better.

Maybe I'm just getting wimpy in my old age.

Man, no kidding. Especially with your preferred way to fish. Nothing ruins the enjoyment of float tube fishing more than stiff winds.

At least up here I have had some decent river and shore options that have worked, but even those are affected by unsettled weather.

I think it’s just because Nevada sucks (all our water and power) and Colorado blows (all that “medicinal weed”). 😉

It does seem more windy this year!

The wind has been persistent this year. It's been grating on me the last few days down here.

Well, did you inhale?

Here in Colorado we have been sucking air up from New Mexico.

I've been trying to get out to the shooting range for a couple of weeks now. It's hard to tell what kind of group you have when the wind is blowing 40 mph

This stinking wind has really played hell on the ol golf game as well !!

You are on to something here!

Toon and tube fishing in the wind is the WORST! It is not just that you are getting wimpy in your old age.

With the changes in the weather patterns, I think Mother Nature is getting upset at us. Sure hope she doesn't decide to put us in "time out". That would really blow. (See what I did there?) I thought it was funny. 😕

not to mention the difficulties shooting the bow

I agree I don't recall in all the years living in Utah and it's a lot of years have we had winds like the last 2 yrs it's the strong wind gust that I hate and like taxidermist mentioned Mother nature is telling us something!

I've been in Summit County for 22 years. I have lots of memories of playing in the yard with the kids growing up with no wind at all. I have memories that it was actually hard to teach them to fly kites here because of the altitude and lack of wind, so we would do it on beach holiday instead. I think the wind showed up when we had the El Nino/Nina shift some years ago, and it's just gotten worse since.

Calm here. We had some breeze the other day when the storm was headed in, but storm and breeze go together.

Yeah, I've lived in Cedar almost 2 decades now and it's persistence seems different recently. I've experienced faster winds here, I think we maxed at ~ 75 mph when we lost a few shingles, but this days on end doesn't seem familiar. We are going on 4 to 5 days of steady wind at my place.

It's annoying but I also wonder how it will affect precipitation and soil moisture. And maybe ice off timing & reservoir levels, eventually, if it is the new trend?

 

[Sidviciouser]

It's been crazy windy here. We typically get 2-3 weeks of spring wind, but it's gone by mid-April. Not this year!

 

[AF CYN]

I've thought the same thing--windier than normal, and all of these windy systems have zero moisture in them. Miserable.

You Cedar boys really did dial things up today! Brutal this afternoon and evening.

Yep, I got going early and got my to do list done, just about the time the wind really kicked up.
Saw gusts on my phone listed at 55.
Miserable day.

When I moved to Cedar 6 years ago the real estate guy told me the one negative is, "it can be a little windy sometimes". What an understatement !

Cedar is a little windy like natural child birth is a "feeling a little pressure".
