    Weather patterns may not be simplistic at all. As an example, there may be
    one wind blowing in one direction high up, and another blowing in another
    direction, for other reasons, at the earth's surface. That often is the case
    here. My other thought is that even a large mill would have only a very
    small and localised influence on the grand scheme of things.
