What types of clouds is it possible to find in St. Paul, MN?

All types of clouds can be found throught the year in St. Paul, Minnesota. I can't name them all, but go to the weather channel. They have all kinds of information.

The clouds floating overhead contain water vapor and cloud droplets, which are small drops of condensed water. These droplets are way too small to fall as precipitation, but they are large enough to form visible clouds. Water is continually evaporating and condensing in the sky. If you look closely at a cloud you can see some parts disappearing (evaporating) while other parts are growing (condensation). Most of the condensed water in clouds does not fall as precipitation because their fall speed is not large enough to overcome updrafts which support the clouds. For precipitation to happen, first tiny water droplets must condense on even tinier dust, salt, or smoke particles, which act as a nucleus. Water droplets may grow as a result of additional condensation of water vapor when the particles collide. If enough collisions occur to produce a droplet with a fall velocity which exceeds the cloud updraft speed, then it will fall out of the cloud as precipitation. This is not a trivial task since millions of cloud droplets are required to produce a single raindrop. A more efficient mechanism (known as the Bergeron-Findeisen process) for producing a precipitation-sized drop is through a process which leads to the rapid growth of ice crystals at the expense of the water vapor present in a cloud. These crystals may fall as snow, or melt and fall as rain.

The main types of clounds are cumulus, stratus, cirrus, and nimbus.  The page below has explanations of these words and pictures of the different types.

Several:\n\nVenus. \nJupiter.\nSaturn\nNeptune.\nUranus.\n\n\nAnd some moons have clouds:\n\nJupiter's Galilean moons Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto have dust clouds from micrometeorites. \n\nSaturn's moon titan has methane clouds apparently.

We'll be watching at my school if it's not cloudy (the weather doesn't look good for the northeast US).  We don't have anything fancy, just an 8" Schmidt-Cass with a solar filter.  If we do get clouded/rained out, then we'll be watching a webcast, projected on the planetarium dome.

Clouds are characterized by their height.  Low, medium, high, and extensive vertical development.  Then they are given prefixes and suffixes such as "nimbus" for rain clouds, and "alto" for low clouds, just to name a couple.  There are two main types of clouds: Cumulus (which are the puffy white ones)are associated with an unstable atmosphere, good visibility, and intermitten precipitation. Stratus (which are long and skinny) on the other hand are associated with a stable atmosphere, poor visibility, and steady precipitation.

Hard to say form such a vague descrition. As omegawulf666 says, they could be jet contrails if you are only seeing one at a time. \n\nOr you could be referring to radiatus clouds, which form multiple parallell lines (although they often seem to converge on the horizons, like train tracks).\n\nThe one thing they defintitely are not are jet streams. A jet stream is a type of wind. You can't see wind.

Clouds are made up of tiny water droplets or ice crystals, usually a mixture of both. The water and ice scatter all light, making clouds appear white. If the clouds get thick enough or high enough all the light above does not make it through, hence the gray or dark look. Also, if there are lots of other clouds around, their shadow can add to the gray or multicolored gray appearance.

In 1896 the International Cloud Atlas was published.  It listed 10 diferent kinds of clouds.  Cloud #9 was cumulo-nimbus, which is the highest type of cloud there is.\n\nHope this helps :-)

No I don't sadly to say.  I live in Cottage Grove, SE side and there are a couple lighted courts down here.  There might be lighted ones in North St. Paul as well.

You could make a cloud chamber. It's a chamber that's saturated with alcohol vapor so when a cosmic ray or radioactive particle enters the chamber it leaves a trail of mist like when a plane leaves a vapor trail. It does use dry ice and isopropyl alcohol though. It's kind of complicated but would be worth it in the end.

it depends on what kind of weather map you are looking at. some show warm/cold fronts, some show rain, some temperature, and others just show the clouds in the atmosphere.
