not easy to walk - wind will push you in the direction it is going, umbrellas have been long useless, the wind is pretty noisy.

Well, I dont know about your area, but when I was stationed in the desert, winds like that would spin up the sand and rip the god damn skin right off your body.

Even if they didnt get the sand moving having wind like that in 120 degree weather felt like getting hit with jet engine wash.

I actually had a FDIV bugged P60. Intel was not happy when I called them to get it replaced.

I think I still have a Pentium keychain with the bare silicon encased in clear plastic.

It's enough to lift an skinny girl off the ground and set the tubby ones a spinnin'.

Doesn't the MA coast get 45 mph winds every winter?

What if you are driving into a 45mph headwind and there is a fly hovering in your car and your windows are open with the air conditioner on full blast?

Then the fly didn't splat against your rear window

Props for not furthering a still embryonic meme by suggesting he'd be like "is this real life??"

I'm assuming there's nothing underneath your long coat, and you're counting on the wind to 'accidentally' open it up.

Is 45 mph enough for you to consider driving an SUV? ;)
