Contrails Sky

In recent days the morning sky when clear has been streaked by contrails from jets. The ice crystals from the jets condensation streak the sky. Almost all of them are headed south. Its easy to understand that LA and south is a bigger draw then SF and San Jose. It may be because the jets stay higher as they pass over going south than West.

Some mornings like today there are no contrails. There is a layer of high clouds above us. This layer of high clouds allows the temperatures to be a little higher.

No rain is sight. The Fall has been a dry one for us in the Central Valley. More importantly the snow has not been coming to the high country. We are worrying about a drought once again. This is not the case the Rockies. Last week brought them some serious snow. Just ask Heather. Her extended weekend in New Mexico was very cold with snow on the ground everywhere she went.

Best to you this Tues Am.
