The Weather Thanks for the Mammaries

Posted by Charles Mudede on Wed, Jan 4, 2012 at 8:17 AM

Mammary clouds appeared over our city on Monday...

Kevin Shurtluff

Kevin Shurtluff spotted them from the water taxi terminal in West Seattle. I saw them above Columbia City around 2 pm. These slow and dark breasts were later replaced by lower and unimpressive clouds that rained cats and dogs.

I'm pretty sure they're called mammatus clouds.

As a meteorologist, I have to agree with Justin.

@1 Yes, but naming them correctly would mean a lower click rate.

As a conspicuously breasted woman, I have to say those clouds were obviously named by some dude because they look more like an x-ray of breast tissue than actual breasts. They appear rather more like warty, cancerous clumps than anything else.

Meteorologists: tell me, are there cock or scrotus clouds? Officially, I mean.

Only the one in dead center looks like a boob to me.

Saw a bunch of sky gazongas in Montana. No, they really don't look like any shoulder boulders I've seen.

They actually look somewhat like full mammary glands as seen through the skin on the breasts of a lactating human female having a 'let down'. I'm wondering if that's what Charles was thinking, or if that's where the name comes from.
