We had an almost identical (probably the same) front come through Merrymeeting. It was the weirdest sky/cloud formation I've ever seen.

Dead calm, silent, but a cloud front approaching us at amazing speed. As in the picture, deep blacks, bright blues, and everything in between. Columns of clouds spiraling down into the hillsides. The pictures do not convey the sight and feeling. I felt like we had stumbled into the middle of a Star Trek movie and "Veeger" would come spinning out any minute.

Then the front came over us and all heck broke loose. White caps on the water within 30 seconds, rain, wind. It was fascinating, frightening, and awe-inspiring all at the same time.
