Someone Likes The Wind

This has been a hard winter with fierce winds almost every day. Hard on me and hard on the dogs because of the wind chill and the constant blowing snow.
Look at how tattered the flag is. That was a brand new flag just a few months ago.
Someone likes the wind, though. Kite skiing has become quite popular across the road from us. There are about a dozen kites in this picture, each one attached to a skier or snowboarder. These pictures were taken back in December when the snow level was much lower than it is now. The weather today, however, looked just like these pictures. Most people are not thinking about skiing this time of year, but I did see two or three kite skiers today, nonetheless.
