#2430 "Behind the November Cold Front"


The surface cold front was just crossing Singleton Lake. The afternoon tmeperatures that had reached 16 Celsius were just about to drop with the northwesterly winds. There was some virga in the sky but nothing made it to the ground. The cloud aloft was still in the warm air mass. The gravity wave banding was the result of the strong southwesterly winds and the stable layer of the warm air sitting on the wedge of the cold air that had just cross the lake. 

The colours of the sky and the water were characteristic of November. I employed every shade of blue in my arsenal to get those shades just right and appropriately chilly. The water of Singleton Lake were really cold. I had stopped wimming on October 1st.
