Today's morning cloud coverage


[Avenue A and St. Mark's Place]

Thank goodness there's social media for people to know whether it was (or is!) cloudy outside. This morning's clouds were particularly photogenic ... and maybe a little creepy ... or menacing... threatening? Whatever! Probably just a metaphor for life anyway.

Apparently these clouds are "Very Cool Nimbo Cumulus, not seen very often," per WABC 7 meteorologist Bill Evans.

    I think the last time those clouds were seen in NY was in Ghostbusters!

    That time when Mammatus Cumulus also formed over EV/NYC.

    Mammatus > Nimbo
