Make for awesome photo opportunity's. If one ever happens at your local mountain, bring your camera with you, you will not regret it. Peep the picture below.

I thought this thread was going to be about developing film, seeing the black and white pciture almost made me certain. Than I read the text. Wikipedia says this, so I'm pretty sure it is the clouds.

That's pretty cool though, I've never seen that here in NJ.

An inversion is basically where its warmer at higher elevations and colder at lower elevations. Thats the easiest way to describe it I bet. When that happens also it does create clouds/fog in the Valleys below the mountains.
Its very common early in the season (november and december), but it usually wont happen much after that.

Great picture man I love when the weather is like that as well...

Thats actually more just above the clouds then an inversion, but oh well.

We had one last year in mid January, where it was like 15 degs Celsius up on the mountains, and like 5 in the city. Such a beautiful view when the suns setting.

Essentially it's when it's warmer at higher elevations than lower elevations. The temperatures are "inverted" if you will. I think it happens more at coastal mountain ranges than in the interior. Whenever it happens there is usually a THICK fog engulfing the lower elevations, like shown in the picture.

Broke my heel into 3 pieces along with a few others bones in my foot, so crutching around on the mountain wasn't an option.
