Example Scrapbook Entry Date and Time: Friday, October 21, 2011 at 3 pm Original Tweet and Picture: @uwaos100_2014 Cirrus clouds at Picnic Point. A warm front is moving in. #GrTri Location and circumstance: This picture was taken while walking along the path on Picnic Point in Madison. Direction: The camera was pointing northeast and at the horizon Description: Mares tail cirrus. These are thin fibrous clouds composed entirely of ice which have a distinctive hooked appearance resulting from wind shear across the falling ice particles. Estimated Height or Temperature: The cloud is estimated to be at approximately 30000 ft above the ground. Weather Situation and Web Weather Map: These clouds were formed on the northeast side of a warm front that stretched from the Minneapolis, Minnesota area southeastward to Dubuque, Iowa (see figure xx). Theory on How It Was Formed: These clouds were likely formed by the rising currents of air over the top of the warm front .
