It’s springtime in Colorado which means wind, and lots of it. Why is it always so windy this time of year?
It has to do with the changing seasons and Colorado, Kansas, and Wyoming locations. As the state’s temperature begins to warm up, the jet stream just so happens to blow directly over these states.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the jet stream is a band of strong wind that blows west to east. This is affected by La Niña, which continues through spring and into summer.
So, what do we do?
- What’s your weight? Remember the 40/40 rule. 40mph wind gusts your weight should be at 40k LBS.
- If you feel unsafe, find a safe place to pull over. * Truck stop *Off the highway * Rest area
- Landing gear down.
- Let someone know. Either call FedEx or one of us
