Not really so much an"Ask John" issue, just an interesting weather phenomena (Click the thumbnail for a larger image.):

Skypunch.jpg

This is a rare meteorological phenomenon called a 'SKYPUNCH'. Ice crystals form above the high-altitude cirro-cumulo-stratus clouds, then fall downward, punching a hole in the cloud cover. (Or so says the description that was forwarded to me along with the image.)

Didja ever see anything like that?

Pretty cool.
