Oh sure, there are times when it is either calm, or more likely, slightly breezy. But it tends to be more windy more often during the winter months. For example, I just checked the Mt. Washington weather hourly observations for the last 72 hours. The wind is currently at a relatively benign 17 mph. Since midnight, it was 16 mph, decreasing to 7 mph at 4am, increasing to 20 mph a couple of hours ago, and then back down to the current 17 mph. On the flip side, at 10pm on Jan. 31, the sustained winds were at 87 mph gusting to 97 mph (with an ambient temp of -8, by the way ... BRRRR!!). Looking back over the current 72-hour period, probably 2/3 to 3/4 of that time was fairly windy, with some of that wind over hurricane force, while the remaining 1/3 to 1/4 of the time was comparatively uneventful, even if not totally calm.
