What creates the silver lining around clouds? "Every cloud has a silver lining." is a common proverb, but what actually causes the edges of the clouds to shine (the silver lining bit)? Thanks, Lana

Why does the air appear crisp and clear, and the clouds look like torn white bread, when rain is imminent? Likewise why is the air hazy and clouds melt into one another as well as appear more diffuse?

Why was it a light sepia all through the night after the heavy snow?

On the first night of heavy snow - tues 5th Jan - it was cloudy but the sky was a very light sepia tone all night - enough to see clearly by. It was much more light than on the subsequent nights which have been partially cloudy with a visible moon. On these nights there was the same amount of snow cover, but less cloud.

On the sepia night it was lighter than if there had been a full moon.
