Look at the number of states completely blanketed by dense fog advisories this morning. Visibility has to be 1/4 mile or less for the National Weather Service to issue an advisory. Cities such as St. Joseph, MO, Des Moines, IA, and Memphis, TN will be under the dense fog until noontime today.
Fog is a major wintertime hazard. Click here to see my previous blog on the dangers of fog in winter.

I don’t know if you saw the Golden Globes last night. But, all the stars needed an umbrella as they strolled the red carpet. We are currently in a moderate El Nino pattern, the West Coast will finally get the rain it needs to feed its rivers and add to the snow-pack in the Sierra. (Last summer, the city of Los Angeles was handing out free rain barrels to feed the plants with excess rainwater when the wells run dry again.)
