- W880312F
- The nearly saturated cold air of this late-afternoon winter day is easily condensed into a flat blanket of Stratus by slight lifting of the flow over the mountains. That cloud appears as a grayish strip across the view. Air currents being forced up the mountain slopes also condense, and are carried above the flat sheet as mounds of cloud bulging up into the clear sky.
