The winds have been relentless the entire month of March. Hopefully that will change in April, although I am actually starting to get used to riding in the wind all the time, if that's a good thing. Yesterday we had steady winds in the 10-20 mph range with gusts up to 30 mph, with headwinds most of the way home. The wind direction shifted overnight, so I had headwinds most of the way to work this morning, but it wasn't blowing quite as hard.

With all the threads about handlebars lately, I will just have to say that weather like this is when you really appreciate drop bars. If you bike is set up right, it should be comfortable to ride in the drops when you need to -- and they really help you survive in headwinds.
