#2356 "Singleton After the Cold Frontal Rain"

The April cold front of #2355 "Cold Frontal Rain Sunrise" had passed by. It had rained steadily all afternoon. It was a cool, overcast rain - the kind of day when it felt really good to just stay home with the wood stove crackling away. The westerly winds created Langmuir streets in the surface of the lake. White caps came and went with the stronger wind gusts. If you use your right hand, you can see that those curls and swirls in the cloud heads were all strongly anticyclonic with your thumb pointing down.

The stratocumulus streets were in the process of shifting from the southwest to the northwest in orientation. The rain had just ended when I locked in this scene in my mind. The skies would clear in a few hours and the stars would shine once again. We value the darkness in the Singleton Sanctuary.
