Here are a couple threads on KF where Scott gave his view of St. Pete winds in the coming winter. He didn't seem so amped, especially about Dec/Jan.

I was just talking to Scott about the wind and this season a couple days ago.
He seemed to think this wasn't all that abnormal for Dec/Jan. He also said the winter of 06/07 was unusually good, as in not normal.
