I just saw something that was fairly rare. Cirrus clouds (a high altitude, ice crystalline cloud presaging good weather) were riding UNDERNEATH cumulus clouds. That reversal is the first time I remember ever seeing this condition.

The layers were separated by at least a few thousand feet, maybe a mile or two. The lower flying cirrus were heading easterly, and the higher riding cumulus were heading westerly.

If you've ever seen a "winds aloft" report, you already know about vagaries of winds at different altitudes. Here, a wind shear was in effect - and visible.

Master of Flow Bizness,

The wind here haz been whippin' hard like that time in third grade when the teacher got after me 'n Alden fer tellin' Orville we'd give him a quarter ta jump the sewage ditch. Before it wuz over me'n Alden wuz hurtin' inside 'n out. She also made us give him the quarter even tho Orv only made it halfway.

Nowadays I git on the sorry folk who pull in where the cripple folk are supposed ta park.

regards,

I ain't like that no more. I ain't the same, Ned. Claudia, she straightened me up, cleared me of drinkin' whiskey and all. Just cuz we're goin' on this killing, that don't mean I'm gonna go back ta bein' the way I wuz. I jest need the money, git a new start fer them youngsters. Ned, you remember that drover I shot through the mouth ‘n his teeth came out the back of his head? I think about him now and again. He didn't do anything to deserve to get shot, at least nothin' I could remember when I sobered up. William Munny
