Artist's Description
This image was based on the weather from 9:30 am on Thursday February 20th, 2014 - it was snowing then as well. In this case, it was trying to snow. The snow was indeed on its way to the ground but the surface visibility was not yet reduced. Technically this was an observation of snow virga but as I recall the snow did hit the ground soon after. The three bands of virga captured in this painting were probably shaped by gravity waves in the warm frontal surface aloft as opposed to lines of turbulent stratocumulus in an unstable air mass. The surface winds were nearly calm so the easterly cold conveyor belt winds were being nearly matched by the speed of the approaching low pressure area. The opposing wind generators essentially cancelled each other out. It was going to be a nice, heavy snow day.
About Phil Chadwick
I paint outside - nothing between my eyes and the inspiration. That special connectivity gets into the pigments and you quickly realize that we are all stewards of the land, privileged to appreciate its beauty during our lifetime but responsible for leaving the environment better off for the future and all inhabitants... Phil was born and raised along the St. Lawrence of Ontario, Canada and studied at Queens University as a nuclear physicist. A meteorologist for Environment Canada for 35 years, Phil specializes in severe weather and training. Remote sensing is his forte - you might want to see a tornado before you die... but not just before you die! He has farmed, raised bees, written books and articles, lectured and instructed...
