A Little Foggy - 05/30/02 09:21 AM
For some reason, we've had by far more fog on the farm this year than in any other year we can recall. Doesn't matter the season: we're pulling in fog. I hope it doesn't have anything to do with the fact that I've taken on AWAD as a hobby, fog attracting fog and all that. (My fog--not yours, of course, illustrious company.)
Anyway, cut through the fog to the chase:
I've noticed that even when the fog is nearly impossible to drive through on country roads without being in danger of going off the road, when I hit the interstate, the fog is divided between median and the woods, marshes, farmlands to the right. It appears to be a phenomenon. I drive very slowly on the country roads, but hit the interestate and all is well again.
Is there a name for what happens to the fog when you get to an interstate and the fog appears to be divided--has its avenue of clarity on and above the interstate itself between fog over median to the left and fog over marsh to the right? I've been observing this phenomenon all year and have wondered whether fog specialists may have a term for it.
I have lots of other observations to make about fog, but will save them for a rainy day.
Best regards,
WW
