Gary,
Your message made me laugh. 8 gusting to 15 doesn't seem like much
wind to me, we routinely have winds like that blowing across the
runway at San Carlos. But I've never seen much wind at Auburn so I
think you're right, the local pilots are spoiled!
I'm not sure what is typical at Lancaster, but I remember one time
passing by there on the way to Palm Springs or Las Vegas or
somewhere, and checking the ATIS or ASOS at Lancaster just for grins,
and the winds were something like 30 gusting to 40 knots (which
explained the turbulence several thousand feet up.) So I'm thinking
that the difference in Lancaster wasn't a lack of wind, it was a lack
of leaves! :-)

You know, I moved away from Boston partly because I just couldn't take New
England winters anymore.
Last winter, I was talking to a friend back in Boston and complaining about
how cold it had been lately in here San Diego. He asked, "Really? How cold
is it?" Without thinking much, I answered, "Oh, gee, last night it must have
gotten down to 50..."
Humans are amazingly adaptable - we can adjust our threshold of whining to
suit almost any local conditions.
Just give yourself some time ;-)

Something that wasn't much of a problem in Lancaster. What is it?
Fall leaves blowing into the hangar when it's windy. Yea, windy. We had 8
knots, gusting to 15 knots yesterday.
The fuel guy said, "It's so windy today, no one is flying." I told him he
was spoiled and didn't know what a windy day was.

Hey Mike, that was all tongue-in-cheek. There is NOTHING about
Lancaster that is more desirable than Auburn.

Gary: I can relate to that. I have a few hundred hours flying in the
Midwest. Wind in never aligned with runway and it's always windy. When I moved
to California and there was a breeze pilots were complaining about the
crosswind.

Oh, most definately, it was the lack of leaves. there is a lack of
trees as well.
A couple of hangar neighbors told me they thought of putting a sand
pile in front of my hangar so I'd feel at home. What are friends for?
