Il vento del Nord, quello che comandava alle\u00c2\u00a0 protagoniste di Chocolat di cambiare paese; quello che sospingeva i bragozzi dei Rivani verso il Sud del Lago di Garda; quello che se cliccate <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wetterzentrale.de\/\">www.wetterzentrale.de<\/a> lo vedete anche; quello che sul Garda \u00e2\u20ac\u0153respinge la nebbia\u00e2\u20ac\u009d; quello che ho trovato oggi nella mia uscita in bicicletta: da Trento, verso Sud, 20 km pedalati a 30 kmh senza alcuna fatica, media 24 kmh. Al ritorno, sotto raffica,\u00c2\u00a0\u00e2\u20ac\u0153punte di 12 kmh\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, media 16kmh!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Soffia, soffia \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 e come! A 15 nodi, ovvero a 27 kmh.

Se rallentavo lo sentivo sulla nuca. Se acceleravo, sulla fronte. Elementare, Watson! E le raffiche? Be&#8217; &#8230; quelle a 20-25 nodi.
