During the night, I learned the true meaning of 'squall' and 'buffet'!
The violent squalls were buffeting the sides of my house all night
long. Any poor wretch outside would have been blown from pillar to
post. I thought it was Spring, but Winter seems to have returned with
a vengeance!

The only problem I have was deciding whether to describe the sqalls as
contunuous or continual...

PS... it has also been raining continually for the past week. I'm wondering
if we are still technically in a drought!
