suck your finger and put your arm up high with your finger streched out...the side that does not get cold is the winds direction

Agreed, but that won't win you any prizes!

Neither will this...

Duh, that's a fairly "safe" statement after the contest is closed (half a year BTW).

No offense intended, but it would have been just as safe of a statement the day this instructable was posted.

Nevertheless, insult taken. You just re-affirmed.
I suggest to focus more energy on your first instructable as this isn't the first negative and useless remark you have made on this site.

Just waiting until I have something better to offer than a coffee cup on a coat hanger.

hmm...I guess not :)
I thjnk wirly winds are interesting because it becomes harder to figure out where the main wind is comming from. It can be a corner or a tree that is causing turbulence. Perhabs it could be possible to navigate only by listening to the wind. Radar vs Wind. ;)
