The sky was amazing this morning. The same widely ribbed stratus stretching from Skiddaw to Cross Fell that I blogged about last month. It is definitely higher than Cross Fell at about 900m because I could see the summit but there is cloud above it. I guess it is stratus because stratus is between 1000m and 2000m. A bit of research suggests it is probably the type referred to as Stratus undulatus. Then at right angles in the layer above, seen through the gaps in the undulatus, there was an alto- version of it. That suggests that the winds at that much higher altitude were at 90 degrees to the lower winds.
