Mount Shasta Lenticular Clouds

Category: Mount Shasta Photos | Posted: Fri Mar 15, 2013 9:28 am

I was heading to Yreka Ca this afternoon and thought id take my video camera dont know why i just had a feeling.When i pulled out of the driveway i only have to go a few yards to see Mt Shasta im about 5-6 miles away as the crow flies. I could see some lenticular clouds starting to form on the peak for those who dont know lenticular clouds only form at high altitudes Mt Shasta is 14,123 ft . But what i didnt know was as i traveled north on I-5 was a complete set of lenticulars just to the north which was unusual i have only seen them on the peak but i have only been living here a year so i thought id share the pics
