Had a beauty out our way this morning as well.Visibility was down to 50-60 metres which made for an interesting ride to work.

Normally the fog jere doesn't happen until morning. This time I had just got home from Charleville and went through a couple of fog patches but nothing significant. Got home inside for 15 mins or so and then outside and couldn't see the street light 50 meters away all I could see was a glow.
Happy I got home when I did

One of the scariest things I find about fog is that you just don't know what is up ahead.

On a few occasions I've had kangaroos jump out in front of my motorbike in the middle of a fog. Luckily I've only been travelling at around 30kph so I've been able to stop pretty quickly.

I'll will admit it's good for an adrenalin charge but it does leave you a bit freaked out for the rest of the ride to work.

We have fog almot every night in winter that slowly comes up from the valley below my place by midnight. I can be sitting iin the observatory and not realise it has fogged until I lose my guidestar. If you look up you can still see stars until it gets very thick. Stuffs up photometry big time.
