#2512 "Winter Storm Sunset 2020"


The Langmuir streets of the high level cirrus revealed the flow of the warm conveyor belt that was fuelling the approaching winter storm. The altostratus was already in the dark twilight and looked ominous as it foretold of the snow that was on the way. The patchy altocumulus ahead of the deformation zone blended with the cirrus suggested that the anticyclonic companion of the warm conveyor belt was aimed at Singleton Lake. The heavier precipitation would fall further to the north. I could not include the cold easterly inflow wind in the painting but tried to make the painting feel like the cold February Day it was on the eve of Ground Hog Celebrations. Darkness was only minutes away on that winter's night. 

Patches of open water in the fast flow of Jim Day Rapids, reflected the sky colours. The snow and ice looked as cold as they were. 

My goal was to have fun and capture another aspect of the weather. You can forecast this weather with one hand tied behind your back. Make certain that it is your left hand is bound which allows your Northern Hemisphere Coriolis Hand to diagnosis the meaning of the various cloud shapes and circulations.
