Argh anyone else stuck with the fog over the Midlands today? It's absolute chaos in Banbury, totally gridlocked. An accident on the M40 didn't help matters either, it looks set to stay for atleast one more day too.

Atleast I got the day off due to the Bus Service being called off! :D
 
I live right on the East coast seafront so we've had really foggy mornings but they usually clear by about 10.00am. My boss was meant to be flying out to Australia from Heathrow tomorrow but I think they've said it will be delayed.
 
VERY foggy here at the moment, and I'm right next to the South coast... I live next to a rather large hill, and at the very top it's like it's covered by proper thick clouds. Down here it's better, but I cannot see anything past 6 houses down the road.
 
I drove 100 miles on Tuesday in near 30 foot visibility. That was fun.
 
Foggy here too. The BBC website weather forcast read something like Fog, Fog, Fog, Fog, Fog, Mist, Fog. Then more fog, with a gap for a little mist. And fog.
 
What fog?

Why is it that fog will appear all around you but never exactly where you are? It seems to move when you move so you're never actually in it. How does that work?
 
When technical issues occur in the Matrix, it has to compensate by turning down the settings. Thus the draw distance decreases, the scenery is replaced by grey nothing, and the drivers drive and react slower. Just like Destruction Derby 2.

I think it's just our vision, we can only see through so much fog before it gets too thick.

Oh and Banbury has only just started to clear up, too late for me! I finished about an hour ago, if I went of course..

And popup is more evident? Right. Got you now. Thanks for that.
 
Poor TM had to get a train to Glasgow and then get someone to pick him up after his flight to Edinburgh (along with hundreds of others) was cancelled.

London has been constant fog for 3 days now.

Yes it's been very bad here in Berkshire too. Literally about 3/4 days of fog without breaks. And not just fog, but it's 0 degrees so it's mighty cold fog too! Everything it touches gets covered in a freezing layer of wetness.

Hurry up and snow, i say 👍
 
I drove a fair distance on Tuesday through lots of thick fog patches. The first time EVER that the motorway matrix signs weren't lying (Although the QUEUE - 40 was complete tripe).
 
None around here at all. It was dreadful yesterday, though. The port of Dover was shut because of it I think.

Have you been checked for glaucoma recently?
 
I guess I should be right in the middle of it, in mid-Midlands, although today it doesn't seem too bad. Pretty thick yesterday, though, and I can't remember fog ever staying for this long before.

The fog is where you are, but the further away it is the harder it gets to see through it - thus, the thickness of the fog is defined by how far you can see, but you can always see your hand in front of your face, as it were.
Unless it's dark ;)

Fine here in Northumberland east coast (the first time this year.) I saw this on the news last night, planes not going, total chaos.
 
Up here it's just been overcast almost every day, no fog but it's been starting to get dark at 2:30-3pm because hardly any sunlights getting through.
 
It's actually cleared up a hell of a lot here now, there's perhaps an extremely slight mist but apart from that, all is well.

It was foggy as hell in my neighborhood last night. Maybe 10 feet of visibility. On Rt 24 it was pretty bad still but meh.


Rain sucks. Dry and 55+ degrees or snow for Christmas please.
 
Still got plenty of fog here, maybe not as much as the past two days, but still enough to reason a slight leaning forward in the passenger seat.
 
Well, this morning I can see absolutely no fog, mist, anything of the sort, at all. It's totally cleared up here, which is pretty freaky... The fog stayed for ages, and then disappeared that quick. This is the time of day when it was thickest, and there's no sign of it. What about you guys?

No fog here in London either, I just got my car back as well and I never got to test out the new foglight bulbs I put in.
