I love Mt Washington. Pretty scary climbing up that mountain with a car. :wee: with barely enough room for car coming down the mountain. no guard rails. :o

DAYTONA BEACH, FL 48 8.9 9.6 9.9 9.6 8.9 8.1 7.4 7.1 8.3 9.2 8.6 8.5 8.7

This is the closest city to me and that just does not seem right for January. It must be all wind speeds for all times of the day/night. It blows a lot more than that at certain times of the day.

January is one of the best months for windsurfing. It will blow strong for a couple days then nothing for a few days. I guess that is why the average speed is not much.
