Hello Rob!

 RM> I'm currently sitting here listening to the wind howling
 RM> through the trees. That's been happening a lot this winter
 RM> and I don't remember it being that frequent in the past
 RM> when I was staying here, but that could be a memory issue
 RM> rather than a weather change..   B)

I don't have any cluster of trees near the house (except for  
one 40ft blue spruce to the East, and some weak/old/broken  
cherry trees to the West, both pretty close to the house where  
their branches can scrape the roof.  So, I don't experience the  
howling/train sound that some people mention when they live  
deep within a cluster of pines.

Perhaps you should compliment your windy nights with this read:

 RM> The most exciting day here I remember happened in late
 RM> November one year. I don't think it was snowing at the
 RM> time but the wind was reported to have hit 165 kph (100
 RM> mph) and I seriously wondered if the building would still
 RM> be standing the next day, being built at the top of a hill
 RM> and up on pillars of variable height to level the place
 RM> from a few inches in places to over 3 feet high, mostly at
 RM> the front which was the direction the wind was coming
 RM> from.

I have a large 10ft wide spanning glass sliding door facing NW.  
It has sustained fairly high winds over the years where the  
glass flexes quite a bit. Dunno why, but there are cracking- 
like sounds when it does that too.
