#2361 "Singleton Sunset Swirl"

The weather story was written in the sky. Weather was nearby but not at Singleton Lake. It was a beautiful and calm sunset and a perfect way to wind down the day. The deformation stretched across the southwestern horizon. 

In this case the cyclonic companion was aimed at us. There were some faint gravity waves in the bands of cirrostratus. The gravity waves were drifting toward the northwest and the thumb of my right hand was pointed upward when I aligned my fingers in the direction of cloud drift. The swirl in the clouds was a cyclonic twirl. 

Some wind in the western basin of Singleton stirred the water into ripples to distort the refection of the far shore. The rippled surface in the west basin reflected the blue sky except for one stretch of calm water which hung on to the dark shadows of the forested shore. The calm waters in the more protected eastern basin reflected the top of the forest from the western shore. The porch lights were coming on for the other residents of Singleton. 

The water levels had been drained down by the Gananoque Hydro Power Corporation so that all three Turtle Islands were exposed. The turtles were busy sunny themselves every day getting ready for the coming nesting season.
