But admit it, you do, too. 3 Million People on the streets. Tens of millions at home, eagerly awaiting them and the floats and the marching bands. Did i mention the balloons . They fly only if the weather cooperates. Cnns Miguel Marquez is live on the parade route. Miguel, i know if its too windy these are not going to go up.

Theres the tom turkey all ready to go. And one of the new big balloons, astronaut snoopy. Thats ready to go. Theyre now trying to figure out. Theyll make that call close to parade time. 23 Miles Per Hour gusts up to 34. They want to avoid a situation like in 1997, when a woman was critically injured along the parade route
