Note the law of Momentum conservations=it does not disapear.?

The momentum of the wind is not very big when applied to the mass of a human body. It won't overcome the force of static friction. You'll note that if you are in a high wind, you will lean into the wind a bit so that you can use the force of gravity to counter the force of the wind.
If you look at at floating soap bubble, a leaf or scrap of paper, you'll see evidence that the breeze has momentum.

The fluid is slowed down by your face, and the energy is changed into heat. Your momentum is changed according to the conservation of momentum.

The wind energy got transferred to your face and converted to heat energy. Touch your face, it is a tad warmer than before.

No by wind, which is moving air, and the particulate it carries with it.
Air has no momentum when still.

if the wind (storm)was a little bit faster then your body will be thrown backwards
storm has more momentum
in a storm your eyes keep blinking as the wind blows the dust at u at high speed
walking aganist a fast wind can be tough
