Skywatch Friday - Old Buttermilk Sky

Altostratus (mid-level) clouds.  We call this a buttermilk sky, or in England, a clabbered sky.  Old Buttermilk Sky is also an old song by the great Hoagy Carmichael, but of course you knew that.  If not, give it a listen HERE.

  8. I much prefer "buttermilk" to "clabbered" sky - I hadn't heard of "clabbered" but I used to dance to Hoagy Carmichael's song - when people danced properly and not just jigged about :-)

    Will you join me in the next foxtrot?
