Your perfect migration weather conditions

If you could choose all the things that go into a great migration day to hunt, weather wise, what would you choose?

Snowstorm and freeze up simultaneously in southern SK and most of ND. Basically just like last fall. Made for great hunting in SD. For MN, give me a light north wind & low cloud ceiling pushing Canada's down Hwy 59 to LQP.

You guys hunting the days with a NW wind or target days after a good NW?

Canada freezing over solid and us not. It seems the birds now stay in Canada well into November if they can.
