No problem, but thats what i've been noticing these last few days.<br /><br />Which consequently is why it has got so cold at night if wind protected.

Tailwind along east lake Sammamish and sweaty warm. Took my hat off entering Marymoor and the temp plummeted with frost on ground. Headwind also from here on. It was like stepping into a walk in freezer the difference was so sudden. Hat went back on!Ruaraidhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17673032106376866420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-26878704058228269322012-02-07T10:26:43.654-08:002012-02-07T10:26:43.654-08:00Flying in a Cessna 172 last night (2/6) over the n...Flying in a Cessna 172 last night (2/6) over the north end of Seatac (from west to east) we had an indicated airspeed of 100-105 knots (115-121 MPH) but a groundspeed on the GPS of 60-65 knots (70-75 MPH). The Seatac Tower controller noticed our slow progress and asked our indicated airspeed - laughing at the response. Several landing jets reported significant wind changes of 5-15 knots as they passed through 900 feet asl. Those easterlys were really moving last night.FDVGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14465783418351629787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-72044963021003957272012-02-07T09:44:50.493-08:002012-02-07T09:44:50.493-08:00Watching the planes coming in to SEA last night fr...Watching the planes coming in to SEA last night from Beacon Hill you could definitely see how strong the easterlies were just a few thousand feet up. They were all flying with the body of the jet at a pronounced angle to the direction of travel. Yet at the ground it was mostly calm.

Drive back to Seattle was stunningly beautiful across Columbia river and through mountains. Into the battle you describe.
