High winds? (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

oboes

gales

'high winds' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for gales that I've seen before include "They're force 7 to 10 on the Beaufort scale" , "Weather conditions" , "High winds" , "Tempests and squalls" , "Force 7 to 10 winds" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the Universal, The Wall Street Journal and the Newsday.
