Sky Watch Friday # 31

The new Sky Watch Friday is doing really well. Please check out the site and link in if you wish to participate. There were over 300 people last week with beautiful Sky photos. You can link in from my side bar or at the start of this post.

Our snow has melted and we are having our January thaw in February. The sky was so variable today with rain storms moving through all day.
There were times of blue cloudy skies so it turned out a neat day. This photo was 10 minutes after the one above. The winds were fast above. We have 50 MPH winds today.
Be sure to visit some great shies from around the world.

    Great ever changing false spring skies. It's like that here today, but still have a little snow on the ground.

    Love the last shot FG! My kind of clouds.
    We had 70 degrees here yesterday and the fierce wind came last evening. The skies have been gorgeous though. Much like your last one but with lots of pink.

    Everything here is a month or two later as well Tom. Some of the trees which should have been in bloom in Nov/Dec only gor there flowers in Jan. It has been a messed up season for us by all standards. Lovely shots you posted.

    It's nice to see three shots from the same point of view, so we can see the sky change within minutes.
