Our Trademark fog

Tule fog. It comes up from the ground. moisture from the soil chills off in the night and fog forms early in the morning. this morning in November the fog is thick. Yet at 10:00 it retreats up into the sky and looks like the coastal fog. Sometimes, later in the year, in late December and January, the fog comes in early in the evening.  I fully expect that this afternoon will be sunny and in the high sixties or low 70s. This is what a non rainy day looks like in this part of the world.

Its no picnic to be a driver through the fog. This is especially true of the rural roads where it is not uncommon to roll down your window at intersections before pulling out. School buses are now have radar detectors in the country so that movement in the intersection can be noted. Still many accidents occur because people do not slow down or use their head as to when to drive. Speed is deadly in fog. Careful patient drivers are needed to sort out the traffic. Drive carefully!
