That's been happening a lot this winter        RM> and I don't remember it being that frequent in the past        RM> when I was staying here, but that could be a memory issue        RM> rather than a weather change.. B)              I don't have any cluster of trees near the house (except for        one 40ft blue spruce to the East, and some weak/old/broken        cherry trees to the West, both pretty close to the house where        their branches can scrape the roof. So, I don't experience the        howling/train sound that some people mention when they live        deep within a cluster of pines.              Perhaps you should compliment your windy nights with this read:              * The Whisper on the Night Wind: The True History of a        Wilderness Legend | Paperback              Adam Shoalts              Penguin Canada              Biography & Autobiography / Adventurers & Explorers / Environmentalists &       Naturalists / History / Expeditions & Discoveries              Published May 10, 2022              https://bookmanager.com/tbm/       ?q=h.tviewer&using_sb=status&qsb=keyword&qse=rC8Hn_GwKfSDE1jzgq        8XhQ              https://shoplocal.bookmanager.com/isbn/9780735241060       https://bookshop.org/a/93260/9780735241060              :D                      RM> The most exciting day here I remember happened in late        RM> November one year.

Dunno why, but there are cracking-        like sounds when it does that too.              --         ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.58        * Origin: Stare into this point intently ->.<- (1:153/757.21)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 129/305 134/100 153/0 143       SEEN-BY: 153/148 149 151 757 6809 7715 154/30 110 203/0 218/700 221/0       SEEN-BY: 221/6 226/30 227/114 229/110 114 275 300 307 317 426 428       SEEN-BY: 229/470 664 700 705 240/1120 280/464 5003 291/111 292/854       SEEN-BY: 292/8125 301/1 310/31 320/219 322/757 341/66 234 396/45 423/120       SEEN-BY: 460/58 256 1124 5858 633/280 712/848 770/1 902/26 2320/105       SEEN-BY: 5015/46 5020/400 8912 5054/30 5075/35 5080/102       PATH: 153/757 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
