Note
One spelling does both jobs: the fog blanketed the valley is a plain past; the valley lay blanketed is a participle, often followed by in, with or under. Covering is the usual reading, but context can call up narrower meanings: a ship blanketed by a rival sailing to windward, a weak radio signal blanketed by a stronger one, or a person blanketed, tossed in a blanket as punishment.
