"Lake Ontario and Lake Erie
Annual average wind power of class 3 or 4 is found along the coastal areas of both Lake Erie and Lake Ontario as the smooth, overwater fetch allows
strong near-surface winds to develop. Class 5 is estimated to exist in the central part of both lakes. Existing data indicate that class 3 wind power
may extend 30 to 40 km (20 to 25 mi) inland from the eastern shore of Lake Ontario (Pickering et al. 1980). "
This is what makes the Tug Hill Region such an excellent area in the northeast to snowkite! Thanks for posting that!Cheddarhead - 24-9-2011 at 11:28 AM
Very interesting read! Always stoked for the winter winds, summer just sucks around here for good winds. Ya know, being so close to lake michigan I
would think that I could find a better place to fly. Green Bay being on the bay of lake michigan really doesn't get that great of winds, of course we
are only at 500ft of elevation and the majority of our weather comes from the west, so it kinda looks like I'm just living on the wrong side of the

AD72 where in Norcal are you? I usually get out there a time or two during a year to visit my Dad. I have been kiting at sherman island and alameda
but would love to meet up to ride with someone.Drewculous - 27-9-2011 at 06:17 PM

I have driven over 10,000 miles this summer and have gotten accustomed to seeing huge expanses of semi-flat land that I have had to look twice at
because I am seeing all good kite spots covered in SNOW!!! all summer long I have had wonderful hallucinations of winter being here already! I enjoyed
Kiting the Gorge quite a bit but nothing stokes me up like snow. I have tuned my skis and waxed them already, (a little premature I know...) but what
can I say I am jonesing for some White!!!lamrith - 28-9-2011 at 05:28 AM
