Dancing Cloud
Jan. 1, 2024
New Years Day was an invigorating high OR day in the mountains. We had blue skies, few flyers, and a few joyous "confirmation clouds," the type of OR cloud that tells us the sky is negatively ionized.
This was in contrast to yesterday's mixed sky, with OR and DOR both existing together, as OR gradually overtook DOR by the end of the day (it always does).
We are between snow storms and the atmosphere is gearing up for the next one. There is always a shift to DOR, then a shift to OR and a clearing before a storm. Sometimes it happens more than once. Since snow is on the forecast for tomorrow night, it stands to reason we may see another such shift to DOR and back to OR before the precipitation begins.
