Snoopy, Spider-Man, SpongeBob — you didn't disappoint us!
The iconic big balloons of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade are soaring between Midtown's skyscrapers despite the blustery weather.
"We were worried! I didn't want to come here for nothing," said Nicole Koeppel, 37, a Long Island nurse who shivered at Sixth Avenue and 36th Street with her daughter, Amber, 9, and other family members.
"I'm looking forward to Snoopy and SpongeBob!" the little girl exclaimed from under her big red puffy coat.
The New York Police Department had been poised to yank the parade's 16 helium giants had sustained winds exceeded 23 mph and gusts topped 34 mph.
But while it does feel arctic to the brave families huddled along the parade route, the winds were still calm enough for an all-clear.
"I'm very excited, even if I'm freezing cold," said Maryann Mccrumb, 50, who traveled all the way from Florida to watch the parade.
"I'd be very disappointed without the balloons," she added. "I wanted to see it all in action. That's why I'm here."

The parade started 9 a.m. at 77th Street, goes down Central Park West, then bustles over to Sixth Avenue, ending in front of Macy's at 34th Street.
Balloons have only been grounded once in the parade's 87-year history, when bad weather kept them from flying in 1971.
The city enacted strict rules after fierce winds in 1997 caused a Cat in the Hat balloon to topple a light pole and seriously injure a spectator.
