Each year, on the Friday following thanksgiving, they bring the Macy's parade baloons up to Springfield, Ma. AS dew years back, it was cold & gusty that Friday. Springfields route is not as well prepared, and several of the balloons tore on street lights and traffic lights.

If tomorrow is as gusty as it was today, I imagine they will have an exceedingly difficult time controlling the balloons.
