Giant cumulus

02/05/12, 2:15 pm, looking north

The cold front has arrived overnight on Saturday with rain, wind and lots of clouds. On Sunday, February 5th, the day began with solid cloud cover. The clouds broke up in early afternoon and giant cumulus clouds moved in from the north. They rose from below the horizon to halfway to the sky with dark shadows at their base.


Windy conditions made the sky changeable all day with many dramatic cloudscapes. The temperature rose to the low 40's F and then dropped to 25 overnight. Winter weather, finally!
