143 mph wind at Stratton

[codizzle]

so i just read on cnn.com that The National Weather Service reported a 143 mph wind gust on top of Stratton, VT.

how nuts is that?!

 

[Shadows]

i highly doubt that for some reason.

 

[garrett.]

we have 100mph winds regularly here

 

[SMPWest]

wow thats a big ole wind.

-texas freeride- i ski cows.

 

[garrett.]

u should fly a kite

 

[bmxican_89]

haha yeah ill watch for him tommorow at keystone.

 

[Shadows]

considering the weather patters go West to East

 

[SMPWest]

kites sure are funn. i like to tie them to cows and then brand em and watch em runn har har

 

[Liam.]

BP ur 2 Funny

 

[mattster]

fuck kites, you could stand on the top of the mountain and open your jacket. you could fly yourself !

 

[newschooler7]

i can not even imagine(sp?) what the top of mt. washington might be right now

 

[nothanks]

Nope. HUGE winds in upstate NY and VT...147 in central VT and 75+ in NY...it was crazy...big widespread power outages.

Larry King does not lie

 

[CooksCorner]

yea, we had a HUGE tree fall down here in central NY

 

[skiierman]

Whoa dude, attach a black midget to a string so when someone says something stupid to you while skiing you can go, "Dude, I don't give a flying shit." Then proceed to point at your kite.

 

[feihlination]

i dunno if we reach those speeds but there are some pretty fast winds at my mtn.

you almost cant get down the hill with baggy clothes, its more like that the wind stops you and on almost flat slopes you can be blown back up.

i just came home from such a wind-day, believe me...

 

[mammothpunks]

only place in east coast than holds wind records is mt washington in NH. otherwise you pussys dont know wind. mammoth is the king of wind. last winter one storm had 168 mph top gust with 132 average. can you even fucking imagine an average of 132? check out the movie BLUNT! where belnager & friends are leaning over the face at a crazy angle, and they still are held up by the wind. that shit is only 70 - 90mph tops.

 

[ColoradoFlats]

that's something to be very proud about...i'm sure it's real awesome when it's bluebird and you can't ride cause there is 60 mph winds all the time!!! YAH!

 

[mammothpunks]

no fuckin shit. anyone who has ever been to mammoth knows that it is either bluebird and 60F, overcast windy as hell and 40F or a blizzard at 25F.

wind can be your friend. i could be the shitiest season, without powder in a month, but the wind machine will deposit 1-2 feet of the smoothest windbuff/ hero snow on the right slopes.

 

[TylerS]

yes siree hes right, 70 mile gusts ysterday

 

[skodeo7]

hahahahahaha the west coast cats even boast having better wind than us. Says a lot about you pride obsessed west coasters.

 

[JeremyG77]

we had a huge tree fall down at school on friday and we have 9 buildings we have to walk to so it could of landed on kids

 

[-benedetto]

the local hill was closed because of 60+ winds. i live in ny. so aren't the hills with 100+ closed or is that a stupid question

 

[japanada]

hahaha true true.

 

[twix_182]

the overhang in the front of my parents store blew away, it showed it on the news. we have another house that lost all its slate shingles on one side of the roof, a beam support for the porch fell over and went through a window, some of the slate from the roof went through some windows, the barn next to it got its doors blown out along with another door and part of a wall blew in, metal roofing came off and went flying, a tree got rooted out.

some people we know had a mini trailor with like bull sperm i guess that got flipped over.

 

[ryan.c]

haha owned

yeah we had winds here in albany ny that were about 70-80 mph the other day, trees n crap down everywhere, the storm came in soooo fast

 

[Snowcase]

yea a tree fell on my house and now i'm going to make it into a rail
