A quickie "lay" explanation is that the air passing up over the
mountains causes turbulence that sets up a sinusoidal wave in the
atmosphere. The "ripples" are caused by this wave pattern... you can see
it on satellite loops during nice weather more easily.

Why is it easier to see in nice weather instead of stormy weather?

Why did we see it during the "nor-easter" part of the storm, where the winds
weren't going over the Berkshires but coming over the coastal plain?
