Geese on the ‘run.’

A flock of Canadian Geese is headed west toward a wetland on the west side of Cedar Falls. The Sun was rising in the southeast this morning and its light was being filtered by a low deck of Stratus cloud. Low level cold air cut underneath a Pacific Air Mass aloft creating the stable stratus cloud layer. Temperatures were in the upper 20s.

Looking southeast toward the sunrise we see a bright diffuse solar disk on the rise. The light is diffused by the shallow cloud layer giving the Sun a frosted glass appearance.

There was blue sky too. As colder drier air moved in the Stratus was broken into fragments allowing sunshine and areas of blue sky to appear. Temperatures responded lightly with readings touching 30 degrees during the day.
