A couple of shots I took on the drive home from Denver ten days ago. This first is in Wyoming, I think ...

... these cloud formations from northern North Dakota.

Re second picture - gravity wave! Too bad you didn't have anythnig better to do than sit around and take pictures for a couple of hours, you would have gotten this: Gravity Wave

Hmm, didn't word that right. I meant "too bad you didn't have two hours to sit around and take more pictures..."

The cloud formation picture looks ominous.

Since we are talking weather, there is a poll on www.saskatoonhomepages.ca that needs our advice.

While the cloud deck looks ominous, its not - its a broad sheet of stratus cloud bobbling on a stable pool of warmer air that might produce a few flurries, but not much else.

"... Do you believe climate change is a real issue?" The results thus far are 3:1 and show common sense.

Those pics remind me of the effort we had in GulfI to orient the guys, to the reality, that in the desert, things were more like naval warfare.

We just relocated back to Ontario from Denver in the fall. That second picture reminded me of some of the clouds I found most interesting out west. They seemed to mimic the water patterns one would expect to see if underwater and looking up through water currents. I'd never seen clouds like that before. We didn't see the familiar and lovely cumulus clouds (those massive cotton ball shapes that drift across Ontario skies in the summer) and I suspect that had to do with our altitude. Thunder sounded different out there too, not so rolling as here in Ontario.

one of the seven wonders. Denver would be similar.

Following the first pic...what DID you do? Looks like the road is totally covered. Was this a time to testwhether you could still do a three point turn?

The highway just drops behind a hill there, the only problem was a bit of icing. It happened every time my navigator took over the wheel.

Notice there's not one polar bear to be seen?
If that doesn't prove global warming, I don't know what does?

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
