Title: US Wind Map

You've seen temperature maps, rain maps, snow maps; now there is a wind map. It's pretty cool. Looks like hair blowing in the wind.

Read about it here http://mashable.com/2012/03/28/wind-map/

Well, it's a nice looking map but it is obviously incorrect. Everyone knows the vast majority of "wind" in this country is around Washington, D.C. and the map doesn't indicate that at all.

Interesting but would be much easier to appreciate if there were colors coded to the wind speed.

Yeah, the Wash DC wind is very hot and tends to go straight upwards.
