   Hello Rob!   
      
    RM> I'm currently sitting here listening to the wind howling   
    RM> through the trees. 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:

    RM> The most exciting day here I remember happened in late   
    RM> November one year. I don't think it was snowing at the   
    RM> time but the wind was reported to have hit 165 kph (100   
    RM> mph) and I seriously wondered if the building would still   
    RM> be standing the next day, being built at the top of a hill   
    RM> and up on pillars of variable height to level the place   
    RM> from a few inches in places to over 3 feet high, mostly at   
    RM> the front which was the direction the wind was coming   
    RM> from.   
      
   I have a large 10ft wide spanning glass sliding door facing NW.     
   It has sustained fairly high winds over the years where the     
   glass flexes quite a bit. Dunno why, but there are cracking-    
   like sounds when it does that too.
