This photo is so gorgeous I just want everybody to see it.  On Friday the local Parish Meeting spent some time talking about how the rockies scaffold storm formation.  In this photo you can see the Pacific Front pushing across NM and Tx, moist warm air surging up from the gulf, and the arctic front pushing down from central Canada.  You also see the storm hurling and lifting most air into the rockies where it is producing, presumably, legendary amounts of snow.  Beware avalanches.

Here's the bottom-up view of the same clouds at 7:22p. Hyperlapse 32x realtime looking NW.

The video is in a shared "Santa Fe Sky"Google Photo Album. Phone camera was clamped to roof rack of my car but the wind still blew it around. If other folks want to add photos or videos over time, we will eventually get around to triangulating point clouds of the clouds :-)
