Wind at Black Cat has been averaging 20-25 mph with gusts to 30 all afternoon. In the last hour it has risen suddenly to a sustained 31 mph (from the southeast) and has gusted to 40 mph three times since 1:19 a.m.

The wind speed average for the first two hours of today (26 mph) is the highest since the April 16 storm (which brought a 24-hour average of 28 mph with peak gust to 64.)

Water temp here is still 53 degrees, so I don't think we'll see the lake start to freeze for many weeks. The water is getting quite a stir tonight, as the wind makes a steady whistle over the rooftop. Sounds like a river of raging rapids in the trees.

Update at 3:29 a.m.... hard to sleep, with the sound of the wind. Sustained 35 mph gusting to 44.
