I understand how you could see such a statement as not the best start to our relationship, however the truth hurts, doesn't it. Step aside Chicago, we have a new contender for the title "The Windy City". I am amazed by the wind in Regina; it really blows. Right now I have my small kayak (8'9" long) on top of my truck. It's hard to believe that such a small boat could cause trouble, but I swear I felt the wind start to pick my truck up today, it's that strong.
It must have something to do with the location on the prairies, when you consider the cities that are frequently described as windy, i.e. Chicago, Winnipeg, etc. I don't recall Saskatoon being this windy, but it's possible the Regina winds have blown away my memories of Saskatoon.
Yesterday N and I went for a jog around Wascana Lake. Thankfully we chose the direction that started us into the wind first. For the last half of the trip around the lake, the wind was thankfully behind us. It was a beautiful day in Regina yesterday, 29 degrees, sunny and it works out I'm only two blocks from this massive big park, that includes Wascana Lake. I can even kayak on it. I'll try to get some photos up soon.
