I looked at this image and was worried there would be clouds around to muck up tonight's eclipse viewing. However, if you go to the site and look at the 12-hour loop, you'll see that all the white stuff is stationary, meaning it's not clouds, but fresh snow from our recent storms.

I just go outside and look up into the sky to check for the presence of clouds.

Then are those white caps out in the Pacific?
No chance of seeing the eclpise here in Boston. Overcast and rainy. And I was all set to set up 4 cameras!!!

Hey Doug, if you're in Arvada and you want to know if there are clouds over the San Luis Valley, do you still just go outside and look up?
Also, it struck me on my drive today that the image posted is an infrared image, so it's reading the cooler surface temps rather than seeing snow.

Hey Todd, jeez dude, lighten up. It was a joke. Why do you think I put the at the end of it? Its not like you've never poked some good natured fun around here.
Todd, I use that stuff all the dang time for both photography ops and travelling between Pagosa Springs and Los Alamos. It gives you a slightly different take on the weather than Kathy or Nick or (pick you favorite meteorologist). I like the RAW data.
