Snow and sunset 1_16_21 pt. 2

The sun broke out in the afternoon as the storm was moving out and it’s always nice with the crisp colors against the snow. Also had a short but vivid sunset.

Winter storm 2_16_21

Posted on February 16, 2021 by Jabo

A good 2 – 3 inches so far and it’s still snowing lightly. Lots of birds at the feeder and bird bath. A welcome storm for us in New Mexico but those in Texas suffering with Arctic cold and power blackouts, not so much. Stay warm!

I almost missed the best sunset of 2021 so far. Looked out the window and grabbed the camera to get the shots. Like most sunsets, the best was over in a few minutes.

Nice mix of stratus, cirrus and cumulus clouds for tonight’s show. After all… what’s a sunset without clouds?

Clouds 2_1_21

Posted on February 1, 2021 by Jabo

Lenticular clouds over the Sangre de Cristos Mt.s and altocumulus clouds (with raven) at sunset. At first glance, lenticular clouds appear stationary and relatively motionless… but the time lapse below shows they are a product of howling high altitude winds that blow over the mountains.

Misty Mountains 1_27_21

Posted on January 27, 2021 by Jabo

In Winter, we usually get a temperture inversion over the Rio Grande Valley. Cold upper level air traps warm air trying to rise up. So the smoke from all the fires folks are using to keep warm, will settle low over the horizon.
