Wind From The East

I was reading my Old Farmer's Almanac, and they had printed the old proverb that goes: "Wind from the east good for neither man or beast". I also have noticed that when the wind blows from the east, there is going to be a storm-sometimes a bad one too.
The ancient Romans did not conduct business when the wind blew from the east. They thought it made people more irritable and unsettled.
In this country we get a lot of hot air from the east. Especially from the Washington DC area. And, it makes people more irritated and unsettled.
I guess some things never change-even dating back to the Romans.
