Beautiful wispy cirrostratus clouds over South Somerset on 14th Dec. A week of very wet and windy weather followed!

I am not sure whether the clouds I photographed, posted below, on December 14th are cirrus or cirrostratus.  Cirrus clouds are supposed to indicate fine weather while cirrostratus indicate changeable weather and approaching rain.

At first I thought they were cirrus as their wispiness looked a lot like "mares' tails".  However, as they were followed by a week of very wet and extremely windy weather I assume they are cirrostratus.
