Too windy, ne? :puppydog:

NEW YORK - Strong gusts and intermittent rain swirled over Manhattan early Thursday but Big Bird and Snoopy stayed on track \ albeit a slightly lower one \ to please fans in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Officials waited until right before the 9 a.m. start to decide whether it was safe for the event's famous balloons to float through Midtown despite the wet and wind. The balloons will be kept closer to the ground than usual.
"It means a better view," 9-year-old Sarah Barker said as she waited for the parade to pass.
