The Jet Stream's location has been giving us fits since mid-winter. To see what's coming tonight, go to Intellicast, and animate the Temperature Map. Faint-of-heart should refrain. The maximum winds in the J.S. have been crossing the State of Maine for some time, sometimes dividing the state into two halves. Until we get that sucker moved, I fail to see any improvement. Nobody tells us all this because they're afraid we'll get too depressed.
I wondered what effect this latest might have on waterfowl, so made the circuit around Merrymeetibg Bay this morning, thinking the fields would be snow-covered and less attractive to ducks, or maybe some reverse migrants, or maybe just birds looking for some lee in this cold gale.
Other than the continuing Eur Wigeon at Bisson's Farm Field, not much to report. The mass of waterfowl still seems to have departed.
