Clouds to the north, clouds to the south, but not one in visual range from Cat land

Yesterday around this time I asserted that there would be some Cirrus and maybe some Altocumulus clouds for great sunset/sunrise photos last evening and this morning.  In fact, there wasn’t and isn’t as I write, enough humidity at Cirrus levels for even obnoxious contrails!  Bad forecast!

Here’s what  Cirrus clouds looks like, in case you’ve forgotten and need a fix.  They look like this because they are nothing but ice crystals gently falling out of the sky.

Will feel kind of sad today thinking about missing this cloud forecast.  Maybe drink some extra coffee to help get through it.

 

The End.
