Ground wind
Yesterday's windstorm was especially strong down at ground level. Flattened every political yard sign, and all those six-inch 'stake' signs advertising lawn services. I don't remember seeing that before, though it's possible that I wasn't looking very closely in previous years. Wind also carved out a turbulent-looking pattern in snow cover on grass.

On the positive side, the wind cleared freezing fog from the air and streets after a week of slippery smelly smog. Good walking weather today.
