Description
These lines in the sunset sky were actually pulses of moisture from the Nor'Easter over Nova Scotia. The Langmuir streaks revealed the warm conveyor belt and the approach of the winter storm. The Nor'Easter was really going to hammer the Eastern Seaboard as foretold in my Ground Hog Day Forecast. Singleton was going to be on the north-western periphery of the storm. However, it was the lone contrail on its way to Europe that caught my eye. The February sunset was setting a bit further to the north each day as the path of the sun continued its northward migration toward the summer solstice.
It is best to always keep an open mind. In studying the natural world, it is essential to accumulate as many facts as possible. The best solution will allow most of the pieces of evidence to fit together in the most complete puzzle. This particular sunset was extremely interesting and it gave me the opportunity to illustrate something that first caught my eye in the Maritimes when I worked as a meteorologist at CFB Shearwater. From the gravity waves in the contrail, I could tell that the warm conveyor belt and the leading deformation zone were still pushing further to the north. Singleton was going to get deeper into the winter storm. We actually recorded 14 centimeters of fresh snow overnight which was only one centimeter below the warning criteria.
The clue was the sharp northern edge of the COVID contrail. This motion was confirmed by the subtle, secondary gravity waves associated within the contrail. The contrail and the warm conveyor belt were pushing further to the north. I rote about that in my Art and Science Blog - http://philtheforecaster.blogspot.com/2021/02/weather-watching-guide-contrails.html
