Webcams can certainly be informative. About an hour ago the live-streaming TundraCam, perched at 11,600 ft., caught these storm clouds building along the Continental Divide 17 miles west of Boulder., Colo. Forecasters have been warning of as much as two feet of snow in elevations above 6,000 feet, while Denver and points farther east and south are bracing for rain. Drought-stricken southeast Colorado could get as much as two inches of very welcome rain.
Amazing frame, Susan ! One doesn’t often see weather in the making, eh ?
This one was really fun. I could see those clouds swirling at the bottom and the whole mass moving slowly to the east (left). It left no doubt that the forecasters were right.
I love that picture. So dramatic.
It was so much better full screen and live. But you know how it is photographing mountains. What’s spectacular to the naked eye becomes just ho hum in a photo.
Must have been cool to see it happening
It was. Still waiting for our share of it. So far it’s not even raining here yet. But very cloudy.
That is chilling – beautiful to look at, though.
That’s exactly how I felt about it. It’s fascinating to watch clouds roil and build, but when they are headed your way … you gulp.
