Hasn't voted | LOL yes they do look like UFOs. We had never seen that many lenticular clouds stacked up like that. About 20 minutes later they all started to meld together and then the mountain disappeared. It was a cool site to see for sure! | | Posted Nov 11, 2005 6:20 pm |
| bustinmins | ACSL or CCSL's either way - very pretty shot! | | 
Hasn't voted | Altocumulus Standing Lenticular (ACSL)
These clouds are formed on the crests of waves crested by barriers in the wind flow. The clouds show little movement hence the name standing. Wind, however, can be quite strong blowing through the cloud. They are characterized by their smooth, polished edges. These may also form on wave crests. They are composed of mainly water vapor and they are generally duller than Cirrocumulus Standing Lenticular (CCSL). These clouds from between 6,500 and 23,000 feet.

Wind, however, can be quite strong blowing through the cloud. They are characterized by their smooth, polished edges. They may also form on wave crests. They are ice crystal clouds and generally are whiter than ACSL. These clouds from between 16,500 and 45,000 feet. | | Posted Dec 4, 2005 12:01 am |

Hasn't voted | Well they must be the ACSL then cause Washington is no where near 16,000' .
It was really cool to see it! Thanks for the info! :-)

Voted 10/10 | Good thing you changed your mind to do the climb. Mount Washington has been the scene of so many disasters.
You have the most incredible photo gallery Tazz,
