This one is debatable in terms of what windiest means to you and how you want to interpret stats.
For me, a windy spot would mean a place that gets a lot of days that have 15 knots or more, for 4 hours (or more), especially if the wind was after work , like starting at 4 and ending at 8 pm. For some others, it might mean the place that hits 35 knots the most days. If you accept the most days with solid 15 knots idea, I think that a few places in Texas are going to rank high, like Corpus and SPI. (Unfortunately, I think we live in a place that is sub-average for wind... oh well). We have plenty of other stuff and if it does pick up, we got tons of riding options. If I didn't have family and a house here, I would have been in Tx ages ago. Everyone is different, but I'd give up 25 plus knots to ride a ton of days in the 15 to 18 knot range. |

Nah. Quite the opposite, imo.
I lived in San Antonio for two years and use to drive to Galveston all the time. I travelled all over the state for racquetball tourneys and I found the people really nice throughout the state, actually. Houston was my least favorite, Austin probably my favorite. That was literally 20 years ago though, so maybe things have changed. |

i travelled to houston for work about 6 months ago. I was only there for like 2 days, and was mainly just driving through and didn't interact with much of anybody. However, the handful of places i did go into (hotels, restaraunts) i got this REALLY bad vibe like i wasn't welcome there. At first i thought it was because the semi i was driving had pennsylvania plates, so i started hiding the truck and walking everywhere......no dice. I guess they can sense an "outsider" and just don't want you there. Maybe we should start treating the snowbirds like that around here.......
