In case you missed it….today’s sunrise glory

What kind of cloud am I, up there? Altostratus. Too thick to be Cirrus.   Altostratus in the daytime is duller than staring at dry wall, but, oh my, let the sun shine under it, and there’s no better sunrise, sunset.

What is the colorful bottom of this layer cloud? Light snow falling, strangely believe it.

Looks like a steady diet of these kinds of clouds for a day, anyway.

Also, as the temperature rises above 100 F here in Catland, can thunder be far behind?   Think about it.   Our thundery weather is not that far off now!  Yay!

The End
