Shoutout to the old timer who told me to always check the wind at 300 feet, not ground level, before a big lift.

Learned that the hard way when a gust tried to redecorate my hair with a tree branch.

That advice can get you in trouble on some days. The wind up high matters, but so does what it's doing right at the surface. A calm launch with a big shear at 300 is a recipe for a nasty surprise. Gotta read the whole column, not just pick one spot.
