Last season I compiled the wind-numbers file with help from all you
netters.  Now that it's beginning to warm up it is probably time to
update the list. Could some of you try out the ones in your area and let
me know if they are still valid? This would go a long way toward keeping
our FAQ database up to date. New submissions are encouraged. Are there 
any wind numbers Europe?

Thanks! Here's the current list:

    Here is another free number for those of us in Orange County or Southern
    L.A.  I call this number often as it only cost a quarter or so.  It is
    sponsored by Bruce Jones and the City of Seal Beach.  It is updated
    every 20 minutes with min, max and ave windspeed.  Stats are spouted for
    wind conditions for the previous hour so you know if its coming up or
    dying down.
