The prediction was cloudy, but the wind blew both rain and sun, and a very high, choppy tide. Hungry songbirds tried to get breakfast but the seed feeder blew shut with a chickadee on it. And a downy woodpecker clung tight to the swinging suet. White throats gave up even though they were already on the ground. Titmice and the warbler tried to eat between gusts.
NOAA said the wind was 30mph with gusts up to 60mph. Also the 60° in the morning was to drop to freezing overnight. This was all because the jet stream looped down to the Gulf of Mexico before howling up the Atlantic coast. And, of course, inside the loop is Arctic air.
