After I was dressed and out in it that night winds were calm. I think it was begreen looked up the weather that night in the original thread and found about +20dF for the overnight low. Sounded about right at the time.
I am on the west side near the Chena Pump House Restaurant. I get consistent AM breezes off the river from the east towards the ridge to my west. I get consistent evening breezes from the west down off the ridge towards the river. Near me, probably one horizontal mile from river bank to foot of ridge, 1.25 maybe 1.5 horizontal miles to ridgeline. I am roughly equidistant between the foot of the ridge and the riverbank.
I don't recall any high winds at all the winter of 2017-2018, but I generally hunt down by Delta, AK where 75 mph winds are frequent.
"Breeze" smoke from BBQ runs horizontal, but my hair doesn't get messed up. "Wind" would be I can feel my hair moving if I am not wearing a hat. "high wind" would be my beard moving. If it is blowing in Delta tree roots are moving around in the ground around my tent and I likely have three lines on my completely beached boat.
