Already ID'ed as the Goodyear Airship going
south over NY then making the loooong slow right
turn, crossing over NJ, Pa and finally home to it's
home near Akron Ohio later tonight. I'm wondering
why their flying tonight with a snowstorm on the way!
They were also flying *lower* than normal altitude
as the dewpoints from about 3000 feet to surface
are at 7°F, plus the RH is around 25% - 30%.
If they were to fly any higher, where the clouds are
they would quickly ice-up. NOT something you want
to encounter in an Airship, let alone a fixed wing or
rotating wing aircraft. Hope this helps!
