#2581 "Singleton Snow Virga November Sunset"
11x14 oils

This is another November sunset. I try to never miss a sunset. The snow was wafting down from the thinnest of convective cloud elements. 

These cumuliform clouds were all that remained of the vigourous squalls off Georgian Bay. The cold front had passed through earlier in the day. The streets of turbulent stratocumulus that originated in the northwesterly flow over the open waters of Georgian Bay also benefited from the additional daytime heating over the still dark ground surfaces. The added bit of instability from the sun supplemented the energy and moisture gained by the air parcels as they passed over the open, warm waters of the Great Lakes. These clouds and the snow flurries would fizzle with the setting sun.

The setting of the sun continues to march southward along the western shore of Singleton. The progression of the seasons between the winter and summer solstices, can be witnessed by the location that the golden orb sinks below the western horizon. The sunsets are always spectacular and not to be missed.
