And They Call The Wind Kosava

We woke in early morning to the sound of hail pounding down on the terrace and roof. It hailed on Friday afternoon as well. The weather has been gorgeous in the morning and then deteriorates by dusk.

This afternoon, we have strong wind. Here's what Wikipedia says about the wind here in Novi Sad..."The southeast-east wind Košava, which blows from the Carpathians and brings clear and dry weather, is characteristic of the local climate. It mostly blows in autumn and winter, in 2-3 days intervals. The average speed of Košava is 25-43 km per hour but certain strokes can reach up to 130 km/h. In winter time, followed by a snow storm, it can cause snowdrifts."

This wind is very powerful. I must run and close all of the windows and doors as it will blow things off of tables and walls as it blows through. It also brings in dirt and grit.

Our apartment is on the top floor of our building and listening to this wind blow with such ferocity is quite intimidating. It howls!
