A unique, local phenomena that is affectionately called the 'BBC', or Bridger Bowl Cloud, which descends like a blanket over the east-central Bridger Mountains and leaves behind a prodigious amount of snow. In reality, the abundance of snow is not necessarily caused by a cloud, but rather a weather event called 'upslope precipitation', wherein the snow starts to fall when a cold, moist northwestern air flow moves through the canyon and is forced upward by the unique geography of the mountains, creating precipitation in the higher elevations, as seen here near Bozeman, Montana, US.

Stephen, I took up your invitation to see your photo gallery – and mighty I did so! Wonderful photos indeed – a real pleasure to view. Your photographic command is highly commendable in no small way!
I especially like your monochromatic photos. Your photos confirm what I always have felt, and still feel, in that they somehow beat colour even though what we see, via our eyes, is in colour. I think monochrome when used for landscape (including clouds) and portraiture takes a lot of overcoming.
Thanks again.
Laurence
A celestial feather to give our Moon a wee dusting, per chance?!? Great shot, Stephen.
