I was out all day yesterday painting the house, but in the morning/afternoon, I noticed a few aircraft (AA 757, NW 319, DL MD80) fly rather low heading south over Brooklyn. This has never occurred where I live (Midwood section of Brooklyn). So I called up LGA ATIS, and they were landing the River Visual runway 13. This surprised me because I never heard of this runway in use for landings (I was actually going to make a post a few days earlier regarding why 13 is never used for landings).
Any reason to use this runway? They said something about severe weather. Was it the wind, because usually if a wind is coming from the east, LGA will use 22 or soemtime 4. Thanks in advance for any info!
