Description
This weather was certainly a gift for mid November and I could not let it pass. I paddled up the St Lawrence River and ended up on a granite point of Princess Island overlooking Raleigh Island which is also known as Spong Island. I have not paddled on the river in mid November very often if ever before. The wind had died down and the water responded by becoming calm again. It truly was a special day. The sun was warm on my back. Ducks kept me company by flying nearby - remaining at a safe distance. I could hear the intermittent blasts of shotguns to the southwest. Most of the ducks were whistlers and buffleheads but there were also a few mallards and mergansers. The water levels were really low and I had to avoid rocks that I normally floated over during the spring and summer.
The outer edge of the warm conveyor belt with the approaching storm moved northeast of Raleigh Island as I was painting. The gravity wave structure of the cloud was apparent in the stable layer of the upper warm frontal surface. A couple of jets also left contrail paths in the sky indicating that the upper levels were relatively moist. There were a few cumulus in the lower etage drifting along with the southwesterly winds just above the surface. Rain was definitely on the way but not before I was done my painting!
The cirrostratus on the eastern horizon was the remains of the low pressure area that had just passed by. This fair November weather was simply the calm comma separating the storms.
