Description: You are at wreck beach in the winter. Sunny, happy, sloppy, and exposing bare legs, you note cirrus clouds in the distant sky. You worry because you know this means a cold front. The weather predicted a cold front. Mix the two and the snow covers the city. From beach side sunny times to winter wonderland, the storm is a mess. run.

about

You are at wreck beach in the winter. Sunny, happy, sloppy, and exposing bare legs, you note cirrus clouds in the distant sky. You worry because you know this means a cold front. The weather predicted a cold front. Mix the two and the snow covers the city. From beach side sunny times to winter wonderland, the storm is a mess. run.

lyrics

Cirrus clouds touch the clear blue sky
Create shade patches on alluvial fans
They etch the sky, oh how I would love to fly
9k up to the vapour ice crystals

The cold front’s a comin
You better start a runnin’
It’s a low pressure system
So you can forget the transit system

There’s an upper air disturbance
These clear skies are a fallacy
Distant skies are nimbostratus
I wish I had my apparatus

Ill check the pressure gradient
Oh the sun feels oh so radiant
Distant thunder shatters my ear
Shit’s crazy in the stratosphere

and the coldfront is a comin’
You better start a runnin’
It’s a low pressure system
So you can forget the transit system
(rhyming systems with system is legit**)
