[Rhodes22-list] Update Re: Out and about this weekend - Chesapeake

[R Orkin]

Seems like the weather is holding back for now.. This is a very unpredictable
storm.. Great wind today though.. We do that Oxford run often and with a
little wind it is really a short hop.. 
Here is a link you may find usefull.. It is to my weather station with radar
and forcasts.
Will give the wind and wind direction on a real time basis ..
