This is a late report as I do not have a cell phone. It is more for information purposes than an intended destination.
Hundreds of circulating DCC were at the beach for over an hour today beginning about 11 am.. At times they were flying low in a large vortex formation (counter-clockwise). I did still shots if anyone is interested. I am more than aware that they are not rare or often not even liked by many but, value judgements aside, it was a wondrous sight to behold. I suspect the NE winds off of the northern clouds of TD Gordon were a factor in this migration pattern. Directions Sunset Beach (formerly Municipal Beach...) is in the north end of St. Catharine, just west of the Welland Canal near Lock one. Take Niagara St. North exit from the QEW and continue to the end at Lakeshore. Turn left (west) for a major black and turn right at the lights. Follow Author St. northward until you find the beach on Lake ON. I am only giving directions to follow protocol at this point. For those interested they could still be about tomorrow or over to Lake Erie.
