Sometimes it undergoes a change of state and becomes snow, such is life today. Not whiteout conditions here, but steady persistent snow. Once again we are singing the Polar Vortex blues. Raptor Observations: Non-raptor Observations: Predictions: Tomorrow looks good on paper with northerly winds and plenty of it. Sometimes that works against us if the winds are too strong, we shall see. Supposed to be clear skies but frigid temps in the 20's and a fresh NNW wind providing windchill will test us all. Surprisingly, the barometer is still above thirty through all of this unseasonal weather. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Jerry Jourdan (jerry.jourdan@gmail.com) Detroit River Hawk Watch information may be found at: http://www.detroitriverhawkwatch.org More site information at hawkcount.org: http://hawkcount.org/siteinfo.php?rsite=285 Count data submitted via Dunkadoo - Project info at: https://dunkadoo.org/explore/detroit-river-international-wildlife-refuge/detroit-river-hawk-watch-fall-2019
