Below you’ll see an image of Monday’s jaw-dropping sunset afterglow, which I didn’t get a chance to download until yesterday. (The color was not enhanced.) Those low-level clouds reflecting that solar radiation appear to be marine stratocumulus clouds doing what they do best over water.
This image belies the old (Biblical) saying “Red sky at night, sailor’s delight; red sky in the morning, sailor’s warning.” This red sky was not indicating an incoming high pressure system that would bring clear skies; it snowed the following day out of a gray sky.
