Seems like they usually arrive about this time....
Thanksgiving was gorgeous with low humidity and a nice breeze, but since then winds have been mostly from the SE or E and practically nonexistent, and the humidity has been higher.

And the water is finally starting to calm down... Hopefully we don't see them at all this winter!

Well that's the trade off. The winds bring cooler weather and awesome conditions at the Tide Pools, but not the best snorkeling conditions.

It seems like last years Christmas winds stayed around longer than normal.

Soon come. Hopefully!
They're not named Thanksgiving winds.
We know we've had disruptions in what used to be normal weather patterns, globally.

I never considered late November as being particularly windy. Rather, if my memory is correct the winds pick up later in December - thus earning the moniker “Christmas Winds”.

When I see blizzards tearing across the Midwest and “lake effect” snow hammering the NE, I can’t complain about our weather.
I think it’s been wonderful.

Oh you are so right! When it was in the teens with a windchill on Thanksgiving in NY we were ready to buy that ticket and tell our manager no more tenants, we're moving in.

Me neither.
I think of Xmas winds from mid to late December thru February.
Of course, then it becomes bring out the blanket, sweaters, socks and close the windows weather!
Hellacius sailing and cold water!

I know they are strongest in December but I remember them starting at the end of November/beginning of December.

They were late coming (and going) last year, early December last year wasn't very windy as I recall.

We were visiting family in the NE over Thanksgiving. I could not wait to get back home.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining per se, but it just seems warmer than usual for this time of year. Folks on stormcarib have been saying the same thing.

One great thing, in regards to wind, two more days and Hurricane Season is officially over.

Yep there are no guarantees, but the odds are in our favor from this day onwards for the next 6 months. They sure pass quickly though. Before you know it hurricane season has begun again 🙁
