Does the wind in the us blow east to west west to east north to south or south to north?
It can blow from any of those directions, because wind directions are caused by low pressure and high pressure areas and their position relative to where you are. Air currents in a low pressure area move counter-clockwise, air currents in a high pressure area move clockwise. So if there is a low pressure area north of you, the counter-clockwise air movement will cause a wind blowing from west to east.
There are however prevailing wind directions in most areas of the globe including the USA. What it is in your area will depend on where you live. Flagstaff Arizona for instance has a south westerly wind most of the time, while San Francisco usually has a north-westerly wind. Jus Google "prevailing wind direction" plus the name of your State and you will find what it is where you live.
