Fascinating place! I look at that part of the globe every day and wonder how it compares to places I've seen. Maybe someday I will go to that area to actually see it.

We have wind 350 days of the year here, on the north side of Yellowstone NP. We catch the downdraft off the continental divide but also where large air masses tend to merge and/or collide so we get serious wind.

I just start getting uncomfortable about it after a day or two when the wind storms come. A cold air mass is currently resisting a warmer one from the south so turmoil is on the menu until they are pushed east onto the great plains.
