Some light fog early in the morning can make for some great visuals. But when it lasts all day, ugh. No thanks.

There is nothing quite like a good strong campfire in a thick fog. It creates all sorts of unique visuals in the updraft.



Hi...


Chad certainly has an interesting take on fog, eh?

Many was the time that I rowed out to my duck blind in the inky blackness, while shrouded in fog. I couldn't see without a light, and I couldn't see with one. I ended up using a kerosene lantern which gave me some vision, yet didn't give me as much glare from the fog that a flashlight would.

Each of those mornings was an adventure. But I always got there. Once I actually rowed through a small flock of geese.

During winters in cold country, the particles of water vapor which create fog become frozen...and this ice fog made visibility even poorer than a conventional fog. And it didn't leave either. Yet, if you were in a building more than three stories high, you could see the sun shining. Another one of the phenomemons of cold country.
