Wow, cycling in the wind isn't much fun

I have today and the next 4 days off from work. Here in eastern PA, today is the best of the bunch - supposed to be partly sunny and in the upper 50's. The other 4 days is forcasted to be around 40 degrees, with possible snow on Sunday.
Anyway, I decided to head out today and get on the bike to get some exercise.
...but there's a nasty, gusty wind howling - up to 30 mph - but it seems to be blowing constantly at least at 15-20 mph.

That is NOT fun, and I have pretty low-profile wheels. I was being blown around - and with all the howling it was basically impossible to hear any vehicles approaching from behind.

I guess it's back to the trainer for another week until I'm off from work again...hopefully the weather will be nicer.

Yes, I'm a fair-weather cyclist.
