Have you ever heard of freezing fog before?

yes i heard that already. i think its that fun to have , cause i want a cold or a freezing temperature to experience . and also i want to play with a snow.

Sounds exciting! But then there are many new things these days that was unheard of in the past. Greenland had shed off some of its ice. Perhaps it was thrown in your part of the world. Perhaps you are frozen, too, inside your home. Write a story. It might become a bestseller, like King's!

You got me on that one, girl! That's the kinda stuff that is normally between my ears....freezing fog....LOL! In reality...it seems that worldwide, there are some phenomenal weather patterns, this year, and we have experienced some here! For the first time in History, we had a tornado...unheard of! Something we are not prepared for...hundreds of thousands of homes out of power...9+ days. But our weather remains very mild (once again, setting records)...most of our days are 50+ Fahrenheit! I have noted, over my many years....that when there is an extreme earthquake, we have extreme weather patterns! In 1980...Mt. Baker erupted, which sits on the San Andreas Fault line...we had extreme winters/summers until it settled down! Gotta admit, tho, sure am enjoying the warm winter, all the daffodils are about to bloom, the hyacinths are up, too...all trees budding, so am hoping we do NOT get a blast of winter! HUGZ & Cheers!

hi marti. so this maybe the reason why we don't hear anything from you in a week? we miss aunti anyway, this is also the first time i heard about freezing fog. although we have not experienced fogging in this place, since i came here 15 years ago, the weather here for almost a month now is something below the usual.

~ hi there! no, i have never heard of freezing fog before, and I even didn't knew what exactly it is, before i rode your post. it sounds pretty cool and i would like to see it with my own eyes, because i love very much the nature's wonders and think they are something wonderful. ~

We usually get fog when it's freezing cold, if that's what you mean :-) When it's really cold, fog is formed over the open water in the fjord and drifts in over the land and covers everything in frost. The world turns white even though it hasn't been snowing. Very cold and very pretty, at least when the fog lifts so you can see anything.

We had it last week. The mist in the fog made our roads very slick. Stay safe.

Over here in sunny (huh?) Italy we have experienced freezing fog too this year. At midnight last Thursday it was -3°C and foggy and veeeeeeeery unpleasant to drive in. The freezing fog 'sticks' to everything. The following morning everything was coated in white but unlike snow it was not soft but crisp. It made everything difficult - walking and driving and there was white everywhere, even on the cobwebs lol. Best thing to do if you can is stay indoors until it warms up. It is beautiful to see if the next day there is sun and brilliand blue skies but this year that is not happening

never heard of it. but they are makeing up all kinds of strange names for new strange weather things these days. i thought once here in AZ we were sure haveing a tornado. but i guess they didnt want people thinking it was that bad so they called it "a micro burst"?? really. it was a tornado i've lived all over and i know when i see one..geesh.

Hey MW! I have never heard of "freezing fog" before! But, since the weather has been so bizarre lately anything is possible! We also got "snow showers" but, we only got an inch or so of the white stuff, luckily! But, we weren't even supposed to have anything at all! So who knows these days! I never read that Stephen King book because he just scares the crap out of me with his stories! His "Pet Semitary scared me when I read the book and then the movie took it three steps further! And I have the sweetest black cat ever!lol

I’ve never hear of freezing fog either! Can fog really be frozen? (LOL) It doesn’t get that cold where I live in Australia and we don’t even get snow so it is not surprising that I haven’t heard of frozen anything! I am a Stephen King fan and you’re right, it does sound like it could have come out of one of his scary stories!I hope you can keep warm over there!

We've had it in our neck of the woods a couple of times. It is when there is nearly 100 percent humidity, but the temperature is well below freezing. The droplets of water in the air that cause the fog freeze, which makes for very dangerous travel conditions. I know that the threat has passed for you by now, but if you ever experience it again in your life, I definitely don't recommend travelling when this is a possibility.

Hey Ma'am! 'FREEZING FOG' Was this word coined only by you, or any other person. I've never this word before as my country Bangladesh is a tropical one. However, we experienced the temperature of 7 degrees Fahrenheit this winter and that was enough to shake us to the teeth. If ever the freezing fog strikes in our country, there will be a chance of shaking us to the hair. Good luck!

I used to work in Shenandoah National Park in the Blue Ridge Mountains of VA and have witnessed this phenomenon on several occasions. It really is beautiful and eerie. Since I am a newbie, I am unable to add any photos to this response, but I did upload some photos I took of the freezing fog to my profile if anyone would like to see.

Yes, I have heard of freezing fog several times during my life here in the UK. I remember when I was a kid driving through the night with my father and the fog was so thick we were barely moving at walking pace. When we stopped for a while you could feel the fog freezing and see it sticking to the roof of the car. I have seen it about twice since then, but it's either pretty rare or down to the fact that I am not out very often late on a freezing and foggy night. _Derek

I've never heard of freezing fog. We get lost of extreme weather like 30 below zero F. But lots of strange things are happening weather wise. We had snow last fall on top of trees that still had all their different colored fall leaves. I had never seen that before. So I guess anything is possible.

I have never really heard of freezing fog before, but the concept makes sense to me. Fog is, in fact, just moisture in the air, and we all know that moisture can freeze, so I am sure fog could freeze. I know it is possible for the moisture in the atmosphere to freeze, because I saw that happen in Alaska when I was there several years ago in December. There was a factory up there, and the smoke coming out of the stacks was rising into the air, but it was only going up a couple of hundred feet, then it was actually moving sideways like there was a glass barrier or something above it keeping it from going any higher. It looked really weird to say the least. There is only one thing that I would say confuses me about the fog freezing.At what point would the tiny frozen droplets become too heavy to stay in the air and fall to the earth as sleet or some other form of precipitation? It seems to me that this would happen at some point, especially if they were able to stick together somehow while bouncing off each other in the air. Then again, if they were already frozen, I guess it would be impossible for them to stick to each other unless some new moisture that was thawed was introduced into the mix somehow. I certainly think that the concept of frozen fog is possible, but I don't know if I have ever encountered any...

I've never heard of freezing fog before, but now that I've looked it up to see what it is, I'm thinking maybe it doesn't get quite cold enough here in NJ for that to occur. (Although it feels plenty cold enough to me!) We also tend not to get fog very often when it's below freezing, at least in my area. It sounds like something that might be very nice to view, from inside with the heat on, not while driving!

I've ever heard of that before sounds creepy. I would definitely wait for it to clear up before going out.

are sure
