If you like windy, nasty winters....

My biggest gripe is the winter weather and more specifically the wind. The wind does not stop blowing the entire winter. It starts around November when NW winds start blowing and goes on until like April or May. Not just "wind", but gale-force, non stop howling wind. You'll have 30, 40, 50, even 60 mph winter winds almost nonstop from Nov until May. That wind is relentless and just never lets up. Then in the summer the wind stops almost entirely. When you want some wind to help deal with the humidity, there won't be any. You can drop a feather and it will fall right to your feet. But come winter, that wind starts back up and won't stop. Winters are super cold to begin with in January, but then add a 40mph wind and the wind chill can be 40 below or more. If you like horrible, nasty, long, cold winters with lots of non-stop gale-force wind, then you'll love Iowa.
