I got in a metric today. I had to deal with some winds. I thought that they might be the first bands from Sandy, but they were apparently associated with a high sitting off the coast.
I'm on wait and see for tomorrow. I'll give it a shot even if it's 25-30. At a steady 40, with 60-80 gusts, it's a tad beyond my comfort range. So Monday looks like a no-go.
