Friday Flags: A Wind Blowing to the West in Waterbury

Our spring here in Connecticut has been completely out of the norm. We have gotten warm weather, then it drops back to low temps.

We get a lot of rain and then we get another dose of snow.

Weather patterns typically are from the west to the east as generated by the rotation of the earth, as the wind blows.

So, it was a bit unusual for me to see the flag at the golf course blowing to California, but that was the case.

There was also no waiting for the wind to pick up as it was blowing in that direction for most of the afternoon.

Good morning Ed,

Your Spring has  been completely out of the norm! It happens, I know growing up in upstate N.Y. there would be some springs that we couldn't make heads or tails of! LOL! But you still captured a great pic of Ole Glory proudly waving.

Good morning Ed. Sounds similar to the Spring weather we are experiencing here in Northern Illinois this year. Spring is teasing us with what can be and then gives us a dose of what is. To me, not funny. That said your captured your featured flag unfurled in all its beauty. Enjoy your day.

The weather is just one of the wacky parts of life - who knows what it will do from day to day, or even moment to moment?

Good Friday morning, Ed. The flags are also flying in our home community in Maryland.

Have a great day.

Good morning, Ed... maybe this flag was hoping to fly over to California and some nicer weather! :)

That does seem like weird weather and never knowing what it will be like certainly keeps you on your toes, haha.

Those waits on just a bit of a draft to unfurl Ole Glory can be frustrating sometimes.  Nice shot.  m

Nice photo of the golf course flag Ed!  Looks serene to me!  When I drove by the huge flag by the car museum yesterday it was flying half-mask.  I have no idea why?  Do you?

Ed, great shot today, and quite breezy.  We have seen a few storms blowing through here too, wind is annoying, but haven't had snow for a while now, thankfully.

Ed that is a really nice flag photo.  It was fairly windy around here all week as well.

Hi Ed:

Nice shot of Ole Glory in the breeze. And once again your wind was cooperative.

Enjoy your weekend!

Ed- we've had summer temperatures this week. When we woke up this morning it was already in the high 70s and now it's 90 degrees!

The wind is blowing here bright now as well, Mike was thinking of pulling the flag down to prevent premature shredding, Ed!

Thanks for sharing Ed, our Midwest spring weather has been a bit of a roller coaster as well with temperature. The other day we had a dust/wind storm warning for the 1st time ever! We have no dessert here lol, so it was strange.

Have an awesome week!

Sincerely,

Grace

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 - We know the wind is not human, but why then does it seem to have a mind of its own? One day the sun comes out and you think, what a beautiful day! Then comes the freezing snow and ice that pounds the ground, and you say yikes! And you call this Spring? 

Who needs a compass when the wind blows the American Flag???
