Smeared Cirrus

Photo by Craig Johnson, Copyright 2-23-2020

The sky looked chaotic as winds aloft smeared cirrus across the sky. Upward motion aloft was enhancing the formation of cirrus. This photo shows streaks of cirrostratus, ripples of undulating cirrus, and formations of unusual lumpy forms cirrus. Temperatures at the cloud level were slighty below zero (Fahrenheit). The wispy look to the clouds indicates mostly ice crystals were present even though tiny liquid water droplets are possible down to -40 degrees.

Here is a question for you. Do you see the eagle silhouetted against the sky in one of the trees?
