You no doubt have heard them try to explain the sight - or lack of sight - when there is ice fog!
When it is well below zero and the normally dry air contains tiny moisture particles, the combination can create the phenomenon known as ice fog.
They are literally frozen, suspended in the air wherever they are, reducing visibility tremendously.
That makes it different from an ordinary whiteout in a blizzard, snowflakes moving downward.
I have a clipping from the Fairbanks newspaper with a panoramic view from an airplane of the entire city, which sits in a basin, with ice fog obscuring all but a few tops of buildings!
Grasping that vision, think about driving in it.
When we lived in quarters on Eielson AFB, finally, the buildings were white - roads were white - the AIR that day was white soup! and I needed to go to the commissary.
Knowing not many would (be dumb enough to) make the attempt with no definition of roadway, and not many vehicles could even get through the deep snow that day, I had a Chevy Greenbrier van with the engine in the rear that could make it with ease.
Aha! Advantage, LadyX!
Picture Mad Mama going for milk and bread or else - window rolled down and head out to improve (?) orientation.
'Determined look' set on face, gauging a point exactly halfway between the two sides with buildings, praying the road was somewhere beneath the wheels.
Of course it didn't much matter with the curbs, etc. buried way beneath the snow accumulation, so I wasn't really taking much of a risk - unless some other fool was doing the same thing, coming toward me!
It was only about half a mile to the destination, and there was nary a car in the whole big lot.
Mission Accomplished.
There are many such triumphs to be had there..:)))
No talkin', no argumentin', no food, and especially no HUGS! Like a graveyard. : (
Hey fuzzy, now's our chance.....
