Dear Mrs. Reid's Class,

I have not been blown over by the wind here, but one night one 
of the women on station had to crawl across the ice because the wind 
was blowing very hard and she couldn't stay on her feet on the ice in 
the wind.  The wind can blow hard enough to make you walk in slow 
motion.  It's a good workout to walk into a heavy wind!                
                
Thank you for your questions!

Cheers,
Mary Lenox
