An Unusual Phenomenon

This was a most unusual phenomenon. My computer room faces north. This evening, as I was sitting at the computer desk, about 8:30 PM, it became preternaturally dark. Not pitch black, but definitely darker than it should have been for that time of day. There was a severe storm warning to the north and west of town, about 15 or 20 miles away, heading west. So there was no reason for concern.  But, I went outside to check it out.  There was a large, dark cloud parked over my house and the houses around me, heavy to the north. The sky to the east, south and west was clear and sunny.  I could see north beyond the cloud to a blue sky!

This cloud sat there until it became dark.  I did not see any rain.  I did not see any lightning or hear any thunder.  And the cloud just sat there.  Weather is weird sometimes.
