A mackerelsky or buttermilk sky is an indicator of moisture and instability at intermediate altocumulus or high cirrocumulus levels. The phrase mackerelsky came from the fact that it looks similar to the markings of an adult king mackerel and this phrase is generally only used if a significant proportion of the sky is covered in altocumulus or cirrocumulus. This usually produces perspective effects as the clouds become smaller towards the horizon. Mackerel skies are spoken of in the popular bywords, Mackerel in the sky, three days dry, Mackerelsky, mackerelsky. Never long wet and never long dry, and the nautical weather rhyme, Cirrus clouds Mare s tails and mackerel scales Make tall ships carry low sails. In the winter they are often said to precede snowstorms and flurries. Mackerel skies have therefore become synonymous with bad weather approaching. However while altocumulus does rarely form instead of the more usual altostratus ahead of a frontal system, it is more likely that a so called mackerelsky signifies the break up of an altostratus layer and leads to brighter conditions, and so the forecasting value of mackerel skies often depend on whether it was cloudy or clear prior to their appearance. However even if it was clear prior to their appearance .... Cirrocumulus mackerel skies are much rarer than altocumulus mackerel skies because cirrocumulus generally only forms in patches and does not cover the entire sky. Very fine stratocumulus undulatus can also produce a mackerelsky at low levels. Cloud types DEFAULTSORT Altocumulus MackerelSky Category ... more details

Less obvious differences are that the dorsal fin s are closer together in the chub and that there are only 9 or 10 spines in its first dorsal fin instead of 11 or more, which is the usual count in the Atlantic mackerel.

That practice distinguished Catholics from other Christians, especially in North America , where Protestant churches prevailed and Catholics tended to be poor immigrants from Italy , Poland , and Ireland . Catholics who have celebrated their 14th birthday are still called to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday , Good Friday , and every Friday of Lent . In addition to abstaining from meat, Catholics who have celebrated their 18th birthday, until they celebrate their 59th birthday, are to fast may only eat one full meal with exception for health reasons on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Fridays throughout the year are days of penance, but forms of penance may be substituted at the discretion of national bishops conferences, and may include works of charity instead of abstaining from meat. ref name Penitential cite web url http www.usccb.org doctrine penitential.shtml title Penitential Practices for Today s Catholics publisher United States Conference of Catholic Bishops accessdate 2011 07 03 ref ref cite web url http www.ewtn.com faith lent fast.htm title The Holy Season of Lent author Colin B.
