This particular Monday afternoon, the wind was really blowing out on the plains. Most of the day, the winds were at least 30 MPH sustained, and that number often got up to 40-50 MPH. Fortunately, it wasn't too cold, but the wind was a bit of a challenge. Evidence of the wind is quite clear in this shot of this NKCR manifest pulling into the east end of Holyoke (pronounced "hole-ee-oak"). A long piece of plastic wrap got stuck on the coupler of OMLX 419, and it is blowing wildly in the wind.
