‘Cirrius’ly cool clouds spotted north of Seattle

Had it still been baseball season, you might have wondered if Cal Raleigh had hit a home run so high it fractured the sky.

Me and my daughter spotted these unique clouds as we were driving back through Snohomish County this week.  I had never seen clouds like this spin such intricate tentacles as if they were cracks or maybe even like veins in the sky.

The clouds are a type of “cirrostratus” clouds — high level clouds made of mostly ice crystals. Light but slightly turbulent upper level winds shaped them into these unique tracks.
