My grandmother used to live in a small town in northern California named McCloud. Because of my Dad's work schedule, the only time we could make the trip to visit her was in the wintertime. The town is up in the mountains, and we'd drive past lots of snow and fog to get there. I was sure we were actually driving up into the clouds to visit her. There was always about 8 feet of snow on the ground, which fit with my notion that clouds were really cold. And after all, the town was even named McCloud!
