A great example of fallstreak holes over Calgary earlier this afternoon! Fallstreak holes are formed when supercooled water droplets in thin clouds are disrupted (such as by an airplane flying through the cloud) and suddenly freeze into ice crystals, forming a hole in the cloud

Great example of an anticrepuscular ray (shadow cast by the Sun, likely from a dense cloud in this case) making it's way south over Calgary right now #abwx

On the off chance that anyone in the Calgary area is unaware, it snowed last night ... a lot #abstorm

Wednesday night's Aurora wasn't as intense as Tuesday night was, but it was still really pretty #aurora #nature

While we wait/hope for another Aurora substorm, I did appreciate this view of the retreating Chinook arch earlier this evening

Yesterday morning's Aurora from the plane as I departed Alaska was awesome I was able to take over 1000 photos and put together a timelapse!

Choosing a 2am flight out of Fairbanks was painful, but REALLY paid off!
