Ty's Take

Wind knocked a vehicle over two miles west of Santa Clara yesterday, which around here means the road crews had to get out and clear the mess before the afternoon push. That stretch between Silver and the borderlands catches the gusts hard, especially when you've got high wind advisories stacked up like this, and anybody who's driven it more than once knows to grip the wheel a little tighter on days like these. The road's clear now, but it's a good reminder that March wind isn't just an inconvenience, it's a hazard. If you're heading down toward Lordsburg or anywhere in that direction, keep an eye on the advisories and don't let the sun fool you into thinking conditions are safer than they are.
