I live in the Tri-Cities area of Washington state. It could also be called the Tri-Rivers area (or 3 Rivers but that was taken by Pittsburgh). In winter we got fog (3 bodies of water = fog), when all factors are correct, you get freezing fog.

We had that yesterday. This means I am effectively inside a cloud, where it is lightly, finely snowing. It is a dry snow so just blows right off your car. It does leave the trees beautiful (I took pictures, as soon as I get around to getting an account and things loaded up, you will all get to see). I hope I have more today.

It does make the roads a little slick but not much. It is not as slippery as black ice (and not as dangerous, since you can see the light dusting of cloud snow). I did notice a few houses who didn't get much sun yesterday still had their driveway's covered in frozen fog. For days, the car has had frost on the windows (going down into the teens can have that effect). Nothing yesterday, just the dusting of fog.

I would love some real snow, inches and inches of it.

You're in Florida, time to relocate to North Carolina where you at least have a chance of getting some snow sometime.

I can send you some Ivory Snowflake baby soap and you can sprinkle it on the lawn.

You just don't know how bad I want to relocate there now! I have a badddd feeling it will be years before we can though :o/

With all the rain we get, I'd probably end up with a yard full of foam...LoL

My big major car-totalling accident was in freezing fog. Freezing fog freaks me the f*ck out.

The advantage of the Scion is that it has a traction button. I tried and tired to get it to skid last winter. Couldn't do it with the traction engaged, off, time of my life!

Sorry about your accident.

I was the first of 3 accidents on that curve that day. Scratch that: that 30 minutes.
