Amazing Headwinds

Typical large high pressure moving through the northeast U.S. a few days ago. It really caused some high and low groundspeeds. Here - our PFD (primary flight display) shows a vector arrow showing a 170 knot wind from ahead and from our left. The effective headwind component was appx. 130-140 knots. Great for anything Northeast bound and crappy for anything Southwest bound.
