--001a114e1932396976053f865782 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 I thought the weather last evening was quite dramatic. As the second period of heavy rain began to move out, about 5:45 PM, it was obvious that conditions were perfect for a rainbow. It was still raining hard but the low sun was shining almost clear from the SW. Sure enough, we had great views of a complete bow (and some double) that reached the ground on both ends. I have two photos. This seems to have been sort of a false end to the system. The sky had completely cleared but then, at 6:35 PM, as I drove down the Gaspereau Valley W of Gaspereau, I noticed another couple stopped, photographing the sky. Kudos to them ! I looked back over my right shoulder and noticed this massive horizon-to-horizon cloud front moving down the Valley W to E. I pulled off and got 3 shots on an iPhone. They only begin to capture how dramatic this was. I suspect it was dozens of km long, N to S, and was moving very quickly. It swept down the Valley from the photo location, to directly over us, in something like a minute. The wind picked up very quickly. If this had been anywhere W of Quebec, I might have been headed for a ditch or a cellar. I have two photos following the rainbow photos. https://rickwhitman.smugmug.com/Nature/Glory-Photos/i-pLVrsLQ/A Regards, Rick Whitman --001a114e1932396976053f865782 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr">I thought the weather last evening was quite dramatic.
