Index of Subjects --001a114e19320ec822053f876e00 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hi Keith, All, I did suspect that this is what they call a rolling front, or a rolling cloud, but I'm not enuf of a meteorologist to know. Also, the weird thing was, this was really the back side of that particular system, very strongly defined as they can be, sometimes. All of this was easily viewed on the EnvCda satellite and radar pages. IIRC, that rear edge was out over the Gulf of St. Lawrence about an hour later. That is still the case now, as the 2-3 systems involved extend over vast distances, but the worst of that one is now over Labrador: http://weather.gc.ca/data/satellite/goes_ecan_1070_100.jpg Rick.
