We're getting a lot of wind here in the middle of the continent, too. Taking the lids off of grills, peeling some cedar shakes, rolling up doormats and the like. But, it is March. Can't remember a fresh breeze. It's less than a Gale. But whether one or two steps below , I can't recall.
Best Guess. 30-40 m.p.h. |

Fresh breeze according to the leading experts is roughly the same speed as a fart but just like the windchill factor a fart is stronger due to the foul smell. |

I will guess 10 to 20 mph. Nothing harsh, just some good air circulation. |

Spart came the closest. A fresh breeze is 19-24 mph. It rates a 5 on the 0-to-12 Beaufort Scale. |

Cool - a win by guessing the leftovers.
Lets test out Roland's Greek.
Last night I used some Greek Pitch to assist in repairing something battery powered - risking burning my fingers - What might I have been doing ? |

I don't know the answer, but I tried to invent a word for fear of thirteen electric Greek fire catapults. Its probably wrong, because I don't know how to inflect Greek words.

Try adding that to the dictionary, Mr. Spart. I definitely think its flamier. _________________ " ... the mistakes that we male and female mortals make when we have our own way might fairly raise some wonder that we are so fond of it. " George Eliot |

Soldering. Resin core solder is used for electronics. Acid core solder is used for plumbing. Acid is bad for electronics. |
