Macy’s parade balloons fly low in chilly NYC rain
Despite gray skies and 41 degree winds, the 80th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade went on with 33 floats and stars like Barry Manilow and Ciara. Balloons were kept about 17 feet above ground under OEM guidance as gusts neared grounds, halting larger winds once or higher thresholds were approached.
