I can handle plain old fog in 50 degree weather but in sub-freezing conditions I'll leave that to you professionals.
Nothing wrong with thinking about the CHICAS.

Aaaaaaaaah yes! The "Valley Fog"!! I remember heading west from Bakersfield, headed to Taft, by way of Buttonwillow. Fog so thick you could slice it like butter. We were crawling along hiway 43 with all the lights popping away, when 3 CHP cruisers went ripping by us.
As we came up on the intersection with hiway 53, we see all sorts of flashing lights, taillights, and headlights. 2 of the 3 cruisers were on the pileup of cars. The CHP boys and girls were responding to a multi-car pile up and made themselves part of it! That was in 1984/85 winter.
And......The "Chickas" at Newport aren't any better than the "Chickas" of Diego.....but I was partial to the "Chicks" of Loyola Marymount....there in Torrance CA. Loved going to the Torrance beach on warm days!!
Catholic girls...nothing like um on earth........unless it is Mormon girls.........or Babtist girls.......or........ :lol:
Freezing fog gives truck drivers fair warning that it is present, if the truck is equipped with flexible CB radio antennas. The fog builds up on the antennas, the antennas start whipping around wider and wider...until they either break off, or the ice falls off. I have had them beating a load tune on many a cabover cab before...and cracked the windshield of a T-800 once.
