Default Heavy wind?

I was criticising Radio Scotland and GMTV for the use of the term heavy wind
and heavy gusts yesterday - ie that you can have heavy rain/snow etc but not
heavy wind.Today I thought, what about light wind - that is ok. Am i just a
weather nazi or is heavy wind wrong?


Hi, Brian

As Bob Dylan sang "If you're travelling in the north country far, where
the winds get heavy on the borderline, remember me to the one who lives
there, for she once was a true love of mine"
