Gary,
Your message made me laugh. 8 gusting to 15 doesn't seem like much
wind to me, we routinely have winds like that blowing across the
runway at San Carlos. But I've never seen much wind at Auburn so I
think you're right, the local pilots are spoiled!
I'm not sure what is typical at Lancaster, but I remember one time
passing by there on the way to Palm Springs or Las Vegas or
somewhere, and checking the ATIS or ASOS at Lancaster just for grins,
and the winds were something like 30 gusting to 40 knots (which
explained the turbulence several thousand feet up.) So I'm thinking
that the difference in Lancaster wasn't a lack of wind, it was a lack
of leaves! 
Dave

Something that wasn't much of a problem in Lancaster. What is it?
Fall leaves blowing into the hangar when it's windy. Yea, windy. We
had 8 knots, gusting to 15 knots yesterday.
The fuel guy said, "It's so windy today, no one is flying." I told
him
he was spoiled and didn't know what a windy day was.
