Most of our neighbors here have little white fluffy dogs - I'm sure they lose them in the fog, they would blend right in.

The home we lived in for 12 yrs.,was near the ocean, the sea fog would roll in ,i loved it,the smell,and everything about it.

Per our weatherman - the fog hung out just off shore all day and has started to come back in tonight. He said this will be the final night. We aren't seeing it at our house as yet.

I was thinking of the great fog in london in 1952 - many people died because of it. That fog lasted all day and all night for several days. Fortunately, here on the suncoast most residents are seniors and don't go out much at night, greatly reducing the risk of danger from the fog, and ours clears eventually in the morning.

While most of America is dealing with cold and snow and sleet, and sending me hate messages on FB because I live in the tropics, we are dealing every night here by the gulf coast with very dense sea fog. It rolls in just before dark in the evening , gets thicker as the night goes on and by morning we can't even see our own lanai furniture.Then when the sun finally burns it off - which doesn't happen until around 9 or 10 AM - the furniture outside is left damp and nasty for hours to dry. I've had to bring in the cushions from the porch furniture, to prevent them getting mildew. Anyway , it is very eerie - I feel like we are living in the movie The goast & Mrs Muir. We have had sea fog before but never like it has been these past few days. Of course it makes driving treacherous. if you aren't accustommed to living by the ocean it is quite weird how it rolls in from the sea - you actually see it coming in from the west & then it just settles here.

can you hear my miniature violin playing 'Hearts and Flowers'. Make a point of not driving until the fog clears.

Fog from the sea has always been common in SF, daily at times during the summer.

Most of us love the fog, and FYI: it's good for our skin.  Beautiful and at times eerie.

Totally unnecessary answer - and not very nice.

The removed post was unkind b/c it was true.

Did you ever see the movie called The Fog? very scary! I think intense fog is pretty spooky anyways, and even more so if you have to drive in it, we have had fog so thick here you couldn't see two feet in front of you-very scary, but I don't think you would want to trade for our Wisconsin Winter so far, tomorrow the high is supposed to be 4 degrees, with a wind chill of about -7.......

@CANDLEQUEEN  Was that Stephen King?  If I remember right, people just kept disappearing in that fog never to be found again.................creepy.........

Yes, and it was pretty spooky...I think it was Stephen King! They also did a remake which wasn't as good of course!
