Default Fen Blow and OBS - Moulton Seas End (SE Lincs) - 12 March

Max gust of 54.5 MPH at 0755 - sustained Force 8 between 06:30 and
07:00. Now down to Force 5 at 13:50. Very impressive "Fen Blow"
happening right now. Visibility seriously reduced on the A17 between
Fosdyke and Holbeach. It's bound to have ended before I get home to
pick up the camera...

Is this just a local name for a stiff breeze or something worse?
Sounds good!

They look impressive - top soil blows off the fields - with vast flat
open expanses we get some quite spectacular dust storms - fine top
soil gets deposited very similar to snow drifts....the sun quite often
is obscured during a fen blow (especially when it is low in the sky)..
