Winds began the day light west to northwest at the surface and have shifted to south this afternoon but they are pretty light. At a few thousand feet up winds are more west to southwest. At 5000 feet and above the winds today are more west to northwest. So it doesn't look like a big strong south winds type of day. From: Meena Madhav Haribal <m...@cornell.edu> To: Kenneth V.

Contrary to the weather reports however, the high clouds above us are clearly coming out of the West by Northwest. I find it very puzzling. There have Been about six or seven flocks of mixed black birds. One turkey vulture and two ravens have flown over. But no geese and no raptors. I'm puzzled by the discrepancy between the weather stations reporting of wind direction and what I am seeing in the sky above me. Any thoughts?
