When we moved to Huron County eight years ago, we brought
our old wooden weather vane with us.
One of the first things we did to make us feel at home, was to
put up our weather - vane on the roof of the little machinery
shed.
Apparently it was noticed by the neighbours and later one of
then said. "When the wind is blowing next winter, you won't
need any weather vane!"
This weathervane was located in Nile,
Huron County on top of a small shed.
There is no good in arguing with the inevitable. The
only argument available with an east wind is to put on
your overcoat. James Russell Lowell, 1884
The sun was warm but the wind was chill
You know how it is with an April day,
When the sun is out and the wind is still
You're one month on in the middle of May.
But if you so much as dare to speak,
A cloud comes over the sunlit arch
A wind comes off a frozen peak
And you're two months back in the middle of March.
Robert Frost, 1936
This is one of five windmills still standing along one mile and a
quarter of road in McKillop Township, Huron County.
