Wow, the fog is amazing outside here. The visibility is way less than a mile. At first I thought it was just the fireworks smoke but it has persisted and is everywhere. So weird. Can't wait to see what it will be like in the morning.

I've seen fog with visibilities well less than 100 feet so anything 1/4 mile of above is decent visibility when it comes to fog.

it was foggy around midnight on new years in San Antonio as well. It is weird...it seems that wherever I live there is always fog on New Years. I have had it the last 2 years while living in Orlando too.

1/4mi is fairly common in my books, but still fun to experience.
When I lived in Germany, a few times the visibility would dip to around below 50 feet. One particular night it was around 25 feet. (Talk about a fun night for a weather forecaster or an observer!)
After shift, we tried driving downtown. That wasn't happening. We made it through our village, but the visibility was so poor nothing was recognizable. The fog was dense enough the street lights barely appeared and stop lights were invisible. When we decided to go back to base, it appeared that the base was missing. All the lights on base were blocked out by the fog.

It is fun when it gets down to 10s of metres, as long as you aren't driving of course.

We had that dense fog over in the northern plains as well... I grabed a picture of it that turned out pretty darn good. I believe visib. would average around 200 feet that morning.

Tell me about the fog in Germany! I ran into that myself. Also ran into some really thick fog in UT as well. One Christmas in CA the fog was so bad we couldn't even see across our backyard during the day!

Our visibility is about 150 to 200 feet right now. It is insane.
