Long Plumage

A steam plume, in 21 degree F air temperature, emanates from the Duane Arnold Energy Center north of Palo, Iowa around 5:38 PM, Wednesday, March 6, 2013. The source of the plume is about 8 miles distant from this location at Noelridge Christian Church in Cedar Rapids. NW winds are carrying the plume downwind to a distance of about 4 miles. Note how winds at around 1,000 feet are flattening it. This view looks northwest.
