Moriarty Winds

On my last flight, just a few days ago, winds at landing were about 40
degrees left at 19G29 making the crosswind runway useless. Fortunately our
runway is about 75 ft wide and we have a very large turnout so, if you carry
sufficient energy and you know how your brakes work, it's more exciting than
scarey. It helped a bit, too, that my left water dump valve was stuck (ice,
maybe) and that made keeping the left wing level against the wind pretty
simple until I came to a stop.

The 29th of February is usually quite calm!
