Snow...on the beach?
This photo was taken on January 8th, 2018. Even though most of the snow dissolved before I took the photo, it amazed me seeing this combination. The ecology I would like to focus on here are the stratus clouds; shown is the base of stratocumulus clouds moving towards the ocean. Stratus meaning "flattened" and cumulus meaning "heap". Stratus clouds are identified as being the lowest lying cloud type. The thickness in stratus clouds can vary. I always used to think stratus clouds indicated rainfall. Yet, I come to find out that stratus clouds are usually accompanied by little to no precipitation.
