Wednesday: UFO Clouds



As I was walking back from getting the mail from the post office on Wednesday afternoon, I noticed this strange set of clouds that looked rather as if a flying saucer was hovering over the valley. Of course I had to take some photos, and then as students arrived for tutoring in the afternoon, I heard, "Did you see those weird clouds?" They are not unheard of, as once Keith took some shots of these flat clouds five and six layers thick; they looked like a stack of pancakes. At the Lenten study, Hap told me how they are formed with very cold air. I suppose that we should have seen them as a precursor to the blizzard that occurred the next afternoon....
