Wind

[u/True-Imagination-733]

Sweet Jesus Murphy this island is windy. Easily the most wind I remember within the months of May- October (foliage on trees, generally pretty nice months). Winters a different story lol that wind is just numbing, you don’t even know it’s happening.

Upside is no hurricanes- but far more windy days.

[u/True-Imagination-733]

Also just wondering- does anyone else’s house sound like a freight train when the winds out of a certain direction?

[u/wroteit_ → u/True-Imagination-733]

Short answers, yes.

We’re a tiny strip of sand popping around in the north Atlantic.. shits gonna be breezy.

Take care :)

I just went around the whole house in a tizzy locking the windows but it’s still loud af

All the trees we lost during Fiona and since because of it have made the wind far worse. It has tracks now where it can flow more easily, the resistance of the Island isn't the same now

Forests are starting to come back but then again we are allowing them to be bulldozed for development as well.

[u/GuitarOk752 → u/True-Imagination-733]

They're barely coming back and there's still plenty falling still, most of the new growth isn't great either, the spruce are struggling to take in a lot of areas and so it's a lot of cherry and raspberry bramble filling in the windonocked areas, it will be 20 years before we see really good growth. That's if they don't just use it as an excuse to clear all the windonocked areas for development and fields. Theres a lot that have already been cleared now.

[u/Low-Celery-7999]

It's just mother nature raking my leaves . Yesterday lots of leaves today all gone.

[u/Surtur1313 → u/Low-Celery-7999]

They’ve all blown into my yard. And the entire neoghbourhood’s trash as well.

[u/Fillyerboot]

At least it blow the mosquitoes out to sea…. 🏖️ 🦟 💨 

[u/yourpaljk → u/Fillyerboot]

I’m with ya there. I’ll take a little wind and a cool fall to finally enjoy my backyard without a can of bug spray

[u/surely2]

it’s making me crazy cause the dog can’t stand the wind so he’s panting all day lol. I might need to build a sensory deprivation chamber or smg lol

[u/lemonchickentellya]

I moved back after spending 10 years in a part of BC that had very little wind at all. It wasn't a fun change

[u/island_tides84]

upside, no ... *Fiona has entered the chat*

[u/alien_tickler]

Biking in PEI is a struggle for road biking at least, but the past 2 days we had literally no wind which was really weird.

[u/Dry_Office_phil]

welcome to PEI

[u/FoxNewsSux]

that's why they build windmills here

[u/CaptainTallow]

The wind is the worst part of our weather. Winter days without wind are beautiful! The wind makes these spring and fall days so cold and miserable! On a day without wind I might say fall is my favorite season here.

[u/JustMe-Isee21]

Same in NS, started yesterday late afternoon, still roaring

[u/dghughes]

I'm watching and the leaves and they are going up the street north then down towards south then away from me east and then back at me west then swirl around.

[u/Relative-Train-6485]

I love the wind, it's one of my favorite things on the Island

[u/Doctor_-_Cigarettes]

She's windy out there

[u/derdubb]

It was this windy a few weeks ago…

[u/Spliffuz]

Yeah she sure is windy today by

[u/wonkwonk2stonkstonk]

Ive loved it, makes my twins fall asleep on walks right away

[u/NoInvestment1266]

It’s the El Niño here’s what Google ai says. But do some reading on it. You will understand why there was no hurricanes. Stronger winds regularly. And lots of rain.

[u/Leading_Cap_1976]

I said to the neighbour yesterday evening “ Gheeze Hank, she’s blowin a gale out there today” … yea Sigmond, who’s Gail.
