I'm in violent agreement. If you follow my posts in "How was your commute today?" you know winds are a concern for me for all four seasons. They can be brutal, even in the warm months, because I commute along the Hudson River, not far from the New York Harbor. Wind can make otherwise decent weather into something really bad.
