Hard to see much of anything this morning as a very dense layer of fog overtook most of the Metro area. A fog bank only a few hundred feet deep lowered visibility to less than a quarter of a mile in many places along my route to campus. Even lower visibilites were reported elsewhere. Light snow fell on me in a few places, but C-DOT cameras from KMGH Channel 7 showed areas of heavy snow falling near Sante Fe and C-470. This snow was falling from the fog as the skies above the fog layer were clear. Most radar views showed no precip over the area as the beam was scanning over the fog and thus could not see the snow falling in that cloud layer. Pretty interesting stuff. None the less, here are a few shots from my venture in this morning...


Headlights from oncoming cars visible through the fog.


Traffic on Kipling at Mississippi in the fog.


Traffic on northbound Kipling just south of Alameda slowed by the thick fog.


Bank of the West buried in fog at Alameda and Wadsworth.


Thick fog over Alameda near Belmar.
