What a START!
Wow – huh? This was at about 7am one morning in mid April. Kevin was in Chetwynd, BC, and was as awestruck as we are – thankfully, he grabbed his camera. We are looking at Cirrocumulus clouds, they are found above 18 tousand feet.
DID YOU KNOW? If these clouds cover a lot of the sky, it is called a “mackerel sky” because the sky looks like the scales of a fish.
Cirrocumulus clouds are small rounded puffs that usually appear in long rows. They are usually white, but sometimes appear gray.
AND NOW—Under the heading of: Everything for wanted to know about Clouds but were afraid to ask,…here is your CLOUD CHART:
| Cloud Group | Cloud Height | Cloud Types |
| High Clouds = Cirrus | Above 18,000 feet | Cirrus Cirrostratus Cirrocumulus |

| Low Clouds = Stratus | Up to 6,500 feet | Stratus Stratocumulus Nimbostratus |
| Clouds with Vertical Growth | Cumulus Cumulonimbus |
