Melting snow... blowing wind

Not a lot is new here.  We have been having some very mild weather and a lot of our snow is melting.  It's nice to see the ground for a change.

It has also been very windy here.  Since we have been here less than 6 months we are not sure if this is normal but we have started researching wind power because of all the wind we've been getting.
One thing we've looked in to is recording the wind.  Have you done that?

There are systems you can get that record wind gusts, speed, duration etc.  I find this fascinating. It would be a great bonus to be able to harvest the wind for some power.  As we live in Canada our sunlight during the winter is less than ideal for solar so having wind to back it up would be ideal.

We would love to hear from anyone, especially someone in our neck of the woods, that use wind power.  We have a lot of questions...of course lol.  Practical experience is always the best.

Off to anchor down some tarps before they blow away.  Have a great Tuesday!
