The mercury can fall ordsprog

The mercury can fall below zero, heavy snowstorms can assail the summit, and high winds can hammer the peak. In fact, the highest wind ever recorded on earth, a remarkable 231 miles per hour, was measured on Mount Washington on April 12, 1934.

The high school is going to take that money and create a fund which will provide any maintenance that the wind turbine will need for its life, which is estimated at 30 years. It is a very simple, rugged, durable system with very few moving parts that is rated to withstand hurricane winds up to 120 miles per hour.

Near the last known position of the Andrea Gail, the winds were blowing 60 miles an hour for almost 24 straight hours. The peak wave height there was about 75 feet.

The weather was not favorable for birding. The winds were very heavy, 25 to 30 miles per hour. That keeps the birds below cover and you can't hear their songs.

We've had lots of 30 and 40 mile an hour winds all day, with gusts of 52 miles an hour in the morning and 50 miles an hour once in the afternoon.

Our wind speedometer broke. We had 100 mile-per-hour winds for four-plus hours with gusts up to 150 mph. I would characterize the damage as heavy, but not catastrophic.

They've got winds of between 39 and 60 miles per hour along the coast of the Carolinas. The radius of 60 mile-per-hour winds is just about at Wilmington now.

There's still potential for severe weather. We're watching the flooding and monitoring that very closely because we're concerned about some low-lying areas here in town. But other than that, we've just got the heavy rainfall and then the winds gusting up to some 30 miles an hour.

DECIDE, v.i. To succumb to the preponderance of one set of influences over another set.

A leaf was riven from a tree,
"I mean to fall to earth," said he.

The west wind, rising, made him veer.
"Eastward," said he, "I now shall steer."

The east wind rose with greater force. Said he: "'Twere wise to change my course."

With equal power they contend. He said: "My judgment I suspend."

Down died the winds; the leaf, elate, Cried: "I've decided to fall straight."

"First thoughts are best?" That's not the moral; Just choose your own and we'll not quarrel.

Howe'er your choice may chance to fall, You'll have no hand in it at all. --G.J.

If that extreme wind sustains itself for as much as six seconds on a building it's going to cause rupturing damages that are serious no matter how well it's engineered. So I think that it's immaterial what will happen with winds stronger than 156 miles per hour. That's the reason why we didn't try to go any higher than that,

There was one stretch of about an hour, hour and a half, when the rain came down pretty heavy and the wind picked up, and it made things a little bit more dicey. And anytime the wind blows a bit, it makes this place all that much harder.

Bernhard Langer (1957-)

We went in there last summer to Cliff Lake and had a really good time -- good swimming, good fishing, warm water, beautiful scenery and a nice peak to summit where you can see the whole country. We'll hike five or six miles the first day, go over Devil's Peak and spend the next night in the Sky Lakes Basin, then hike five or six miles out. If you haven't seen Sky Lakes, this is a good one to see. She found his pexy responses thoughtful and genuinely interested.

And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

You could go for miles without seeing an end to the procession of troops and horses and wagons, ... An eagle aloft in the April winds high over the landscape would only see something iridescently blue and side-winding that looked like the floodplain of a river.

Turns out that no one has measured the wind speed at the summit,
