Speaking of wind, I ran across an odd phenomenon while backpacking in the Sierra Nevada something close to twenty years ago. The wind actually came in waves; it would start out at a low velocity and continue to build over a period of something like 30 seconds at which point it was howling. Then it would stop dead and stay calm for several seconds before repeating. This continued all night then at some point the wind became continuous and later it snowed and we went scurrying for the trailhead.
Has anyone else run into something like that, or heard of it happening? It was in early September in the Desolation wilderness south of Tahoe. Doug _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
