Zig Zag Sky #SkywatchFriday

Although I love taking pictures of the sky and clouds, I don't know that much about clouds.  My spouse, on the other hand, has been fascinated by weather all his life.  His two brothers are, too.  In fact, he seriously considered becoming a meteorologist when he was preparing for college (he didn't, for various reasons.)

But he knows his cloud names.

In the past few years, though he tells me, some new cloud formations have been identified due to factors such as human activity and global weather changes (which, come to think of it, are related.  At least, many think so.)  Although these are not a new cloud, according to him, he had never seen anything quite like these.

Like what?

Pictures taken February 5 near sunset in the Binghamton, New York area. We got mixed precipitation later that night.

I call them "zig zag clouds". Or maybe "zig zag sky"?

From a different direction they look more "normal".

Nice sunset. The clouds almost look to be going into infinity.

What do you think?
