Weird weather up here

Blowing hard all night out of the NW (gusts over 40) with rising temps. We topped out yesterday right around freezing; it was 35 when I woke up this morning and now over 40 and climbing with the wind still blowing hard NW. I don't think I've ever seen rising temps on a winter NW blow before. Usually our big warm ups come with a SE or S wind as a storm passes. And it's the shift behind a storm that brings the NW winds--and cold.

Weird.

I don't know if the NW winds will move some birds from here to you mid-Atlantic folks, or whether the warm temps will keep the birds here.
 
The river is all broken up in Winterport this morning. That certain mercury laden spot downstream was loaded with blacks....

My boat and decoys are hunting without me in Chatham right now....

John, you can eat those ducks, if you shot any back when the season was open, but keep your kids away from them to avoid brain damage. Wasn't there a consumption warning on waterfowl in the lower Penobscot?
 
There is a consumption warning- two meals per month, none for pregnant women or children under 8. I only 3 anyway....
