April 12th - Big Wind Day!

Big Wind Day commemorates the highest wind speed ever recorded on the planet.
Can you guess where? No, it wasn't in the middle of a hurricane or a tornado.

On April 12, 1934, the staff of the Mount Washington Observatory recorded the highest surface wind ever measured, anywhere on earth. This big wind was officially recorded at 231 miles per hour. Imagine the difficulties of even making a recording under those conditions back then!

Will this record ever be broken? Perhaps, but until then, enjoy Big Wind Day. (not what you expected heh???? LOL).

For your challenge today, I want to see a card or a layout with a pinwheel on it!!



You will have until April 29th at midnight to get your project uploaded to here!!

I do love pinwheels!
