Some of those wind gusts don't look to pleasant. Infact, I was just outside and thought I was going to get blown away walking on the bridge over the "English Coulee."

lol. . . I love how they report a peak wind when it was also reported at the hourly (first obs). Silly automated sensor and no one doing any QC.

I flew in it this after noon right about dusk. I scared my instructor pretty bad when I took out my cross wind correction way too early before we had even done our roll out.

it was more of the low altimeter settings (don't think i have ever seen below 29.5x) and how the wind went from calm (for here) to windy and gusty.

most of the time it is about 15kts here

Yeah, I was up from 3:30 to 5:30 when it was doing that. It was pretty steady at rediculous aloft. I was getting over 200 knots ground speed going to thief river. Only 70 ish on the way back though. I was quite surprised when it was only 7 knots landing back at grand forks. I was anticipating being blown all over the place only to look like I was flying like a drunken idiot.

I had 153 knot ground speed turning on my crosswind on 26. I looked down and I felt like I was in CRJ.

I remember its freaking hard walking to physics class from Smith when the winds are gusting to like 50, people going that direction are walking in a posed anti aerodynamic way and the people walking the opposite direction getting their butts blown.
