There is a major flight of SNOW GEESE tonight (Dec 7th).
Since I got home after dark, I've been hearing flight after flight of them going over (southbound) from here in New Baltimore, The Greene County, NY. (~1/3 NYC <------*-------->Montreal) Because of the dark, getting a count is not possible, however, I'd estimate that thousands have gone by so far. Interestingly also, is that we are experiencing quite a bit of lake effect snow squalls in the area tonight; nothing big, but almost a continuous pattern of light snow. There isn't much wind at ground level to speak of. But judging by the snow pattern, I imagine there is a fair cross-wind aloft.
