Southeast Idaho Wind

[Nsomniac66]

I guess it's all about perspective, I think it's a lot more calm here. Of course, I came from North Dakota, so that would probably explain it.

Interesting comment about how SW Idaho seemed windier but actually parts of Utah windier when judged more scientifically (professionally) were windier, surprise. (Ooops, or was it SE Idaho - hmm - I can't easily go and look at the posts now)
At any rate, go to
http://www.city-data.com/
and type in the city or zip code of a place. Most of the times when you page down enough through all the data, there is a graph showing the average wind speed at different times of the year.
If you open up two windows for two different cities, you can go back and forth and compare the wind speeds.
I did that for places like Las Vegas, Missoula, Boise, Caldwell, Nampa, Emmett, Idaho City, Kuna, and Mountain Home.

As I recall, Las Vegas was windiest by far in the summer, Missoula by far the least windy, and Boise, Caldwell, Nampa, Emmett, and Idaho City, about the same and in betwen. (Missoula about 10 degrees colder year round that the Boise area, which was about 10 degrees cooler than vegas. ). My memory could be off on the wind stats. But it is very interesting to see a presumably scientific comparison.
A week or so ago, the Boise area was 30 degrees cooler than vegas. But lately it has moved to the 10 cooler degrees average claimed in the graphs.

I don't want to say Idaho is the windiest State in the US, but a couple days ago when opening my car door, a gust blew it against its hinges and now my door (on an '07 Nissan) does not close properly. This has never happened to me before. I will forever associate Idaho with wind because of this inane event!

I may have to start one in Idaho,for the things that happened to me there,in Elmore and Ada counties,concerning the way they handled my cases,I was convicted of grand theft in 99,I took the Elmore counties bondsman's coin collection,I saw zalled open his safe,and left town,but there were a lot of reasons behind this,and normally I would not have done this,but the police there were harrassing me so badly prior,to this I didn't feel I had a choice,and when my lawyer told me in 99 the police were going to violate me,and my bond for no reason,and the police were going to kill me,I did this. It was not right to do and I know it,but there were a lot of reasons I am not saying now.
The police had pulled me and my girl friend over prior to this pulled me out and almost shot me in cold blood,saying I had a weapon,in broad daylight in front of 250 witnesses by this time so I took him seriously when he said this.
He eventually come to AZ to visit me,and I signed my van and tools to him there,in exchange to drop his charges only,plus he got all his coins but the 12 I hawked,and 1400 dollars I had on me,and later when I got back none of this ever come out,and they forced drugs on me and hid all this for 10 years now,and in all the official paperwork,he pretends he only got back 619 dollars total,and they all knew this was not true from 99 on,to present.
And I was forced to pay in 2003,to have a warrant dismissed in AZ at one of the pawnshops he got his stuff from free,so he got all his stuff back totally for free and I was charged restitution as if he lost everything,plus he collected 4 thousand from his insurance company as well it states on the record,and they have hid this all for years on me.
And the PO lied in court in 2003 pretended I did not pay anything,and the 30 violation turned into 6 years in prison with real bad treatment when I tried to expose all these people from 2006 0n thru 08,so what do people think,do I deserve this,for taking his coins or what? I just want to see what people think? and even though they did not follow the law,should they be excused,for this because I took the coins,in the first place,I just need honest opinions I guess thanks?

I like the part where poster says "almost shot me in cold blood." Very entertaining!
