Windiest year ever

So, I've been in Canada for seven years now, and I don't ever remember when the spring was this windy!

Is it ever going to calm down so that we can fly? $:-\$

Kites are the future. With global warming causing more severe weather, we'll never have a good flying day again.

Before RC, there was never enough wind so I used to take vacations in windy places, subscribed to internet websites that reported realtime windspeeds, actually chased the wind with a minivan full of wind toys, was addicted to weather forecasts and actually checked the daily forecast before I read my e-mail (or TEMAC's website).
Then I switched from windsurfing/kiteboarding to RC. Murphy is alive and well in both!
