Oh yes where are you located. The reason I have so little wind is the topography, I am down NE of a ridge about 100 ft with tall trees all around and there are ridges to the north of me that run quite a bit higher so I get little wind down here.
It can be blowing a gale at treetop level and I get very little even at the 30ft point above the house where the sensor head is located. But that wind will pick up limbs and toss them down here on us, so it is definitely there. APRS or CWOP will show you exactly where I am.
