Smoking outside = windcover mandatory?!

[wyteboy]

moving somewhere with a balcony...but it gets really cold in CT starting in about a month...will I need a windcover to be able to smoke outside?
p.s. Sorry to all that I've been absent for awhile, I came down with pneumonia about 2 weeks ago and have basically been totally DR and bed-ridden every day constantly.
I am slowly but surely getting better, but it's a slow process.  Haven't smoked the hookah in about a month since I started to not feel well...gotta wait prob another 6 weeks for the lungs to completely heal before I can use the hookah again.  GRRRRRRRR

I don't see why you should NEED a windguard for smoking outside. A
windguard is simply there to keep the wind from blowing coals over and
keeping the sparks from flying in wind. Just because the wind might be
colder, it shouldn't make the coals any less hot.

People seem to only use windguards to help with heat managing with
using a screen instead of foil, and if the wind is really harsh it
might blow the coals off.

You should be fine.

P.S. Get healthy soon!
