It's always been windy at this time, and climate change is making weather more intense it seems.
I have been saying for almost a decade that it feels like it's getting windier here than it was when I first moved to DC 34 years ago. Now off to read that WaPo article to see if I'm right, LOL.

I've notice there have been tons of windy days, this week or two alone will have 5-6 days that had gale force winds. Why? I need more than "global warming." What exactly is happening with the winds here?
