A Straight Dope Classic from Cecil's Storehouse of Human Knowledge

What does a cloud feel like to the touch?

March 20, 1992

Dear Cecil:

What does a cloud feel like to the touch?

Cecil replies:

Like a funeral director's handshake, B.P.--cold and clammy. But why are you asking me? Chances are you've already felt a cloud. It's called fog, which is nothing more than a cloud at ground level.
