This article doesn't give that much information. I'm looking for some descrpitions about this cloud.(=^_^=)

It gives you the atlitude, what it looks like, and the chances of rain. What more do you need to know? -Dr. Cribbit

[edit] Nimbostratus photo

The nimbostratus photo "Image:Nov20-05-Nimbostratus.jpg" is not an accurate representation of this cloud. That particular photo shows more of a thick stratocumulus or altocumulus layer with very distinct texture. Nimbostratus is formless and is just a dull gray, usually with steady precipitation. -Rolypolyman (talk) 05:40, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

I have to agree. I've been considering this for a while, and the clouds pictures are not nimbostratus clouds, I think. I'm thinking more along the lines of strao or Altocumulus opacus? The picture is still a good one though, it just needs to be moved to the appropriate article.PiccoloNamek (talk) 02:27, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
