  1. Nice Mammatus.

    I wasn't sure all of NY could see it.

  4. Stunning shots! :-)

    You were extremely lucky to see these mammatus, it's not a common occurrence - I've always hoped to see them but never have.

    I had to go back and dig into my college memories, and after a second thought, they might already have been classified back then, but not as a cloud family in itself since the phenomena can occur around different kinds of clouds (i.e. the anvil of a cumulonimbus, altocumulus, etc...) So I stand corrected.

  5. My colleague Toast says that his Mum calls those clouds "muistĂȘtte".

  6. Wow. I don't have that word in my Oxford dictionary but get the picture. I see that cloud formation every now and then and usually it means there is going to be hail. But without the colour which was spectacular

    Coz! That's so funny. Tell Toast those must've been pretty big mice! Wat vir niks skrik nie...

    Hen...two family members in the comments, wow! Huh - I wonder what time of year you see them...summer?

    Dinahmow - apparently not common at all. But we're coast, too.

    Thanks, Amarilla. Wild weather = fun.
