This is wha the ice fog in Fairbanks looks like today. It is a clear day. This is frozen exhaust. Mostly ice crystals.

Thanks.
No Thanks!

Sorry for the double post!
*sigh*
Born and raised in Maine.. Rockland. Left in 1980. Best thing I ever did. Maines a beautiful state, run by idiots.
Best of luck.
One year at Malmstrom AFB, MT, I watched EB-57s taking off leaving contrails on the runway. The air temp was close to -30F.
Weather Channel says -42. 66% humidity.
When that happens where I live, I don’t drive.
We had “freezing fog” a few years ago. It was really neat to look at but nasty in every other way.
Lived in AK early 80s - most unusual domestic/human sight I remember is seeing all the cars in the parking lots running while folks were in the stores shopping (Fairbanks) 20/30 below and no where to plug-in the block heaters. My ‘78 Mercury only got 15mpg - hated the cold.
Need to visit again - lot of changes there in the last 40+ years...
Da Yoopers “My Car Won’t Go” 2:47
I wake up in the morning and it’s 40 below
the weather man tells me it’s too cold to snow
I look out the window and I know that he’s lying
my car’s out of sight and the snow is still flying
will the car start hey you know it won’t
did they plow the road you know they don’t
am I late for work you know you are
stuck again so is your car

Spent some time in northern Maine. When the car wouldn’t start it had to be pulled or I missed work. Rotten crap weather! I wouldn’t live there again even if I could stay inside all winter, which I can now as I’m retired.
Thanks!
Born and raised Mainer here, too.
Yes, it’s run by idiots!
But looking around at the USA, I’m stayin’ put!
If you see someone coming up your road...
It’s usually a nay-bah!
(And if it ain’t, well...)
*evil grin*
Its 54 degrees here in Metro Atlanta and we have the heat cranked up. 😬
