SINS... "We call them Nor'easters."

I have seen some nasty Nor'easters, living, as I do, next door to ye Maineeacs, but we have another name for 252kph wind.... %^%@#$&!!!!

Skarpi... "so ...I guess we are having a blast ...or what would you call this ??? a Hurricane ???"

Yes, Skarpi. A Categorey 5 Hurricane is up to 252kph. There is no Cat 6... over 252kph, it's a big torrnado.

BTW, SINS, at 252kph, ya might not wanna stoke the fire with a lot of wood at one time, even with the damper near closed.

Just thinking about wind like that sends a chill up my... ah... spine.
