Clouds seem lower in the sky in fall and winter. Are they actually lower and, if so, why?

Question

The temperature dropped near me over the past week and today the clouds are noticeably lower than they were all summer.

In: 344

Answer 1

I’m not sure about the cloud bases being lower or higher but the tops will be lower in the winter time because of the height of the tropopause being lower with the colder air.
