Default Lack of fogs nowadays

I recall 15 years ago, driving from our village (nr Rugby) to Kenilworth to
meet my mum, then over to Coventry, all the while being in thick fog, and
even in the city (ok the burbs, but in amongst the houses) it was still
reducing visibility to about 50-100 yds.


I remember the same, about 10-15 years ago, driving along the A4097 just
south of Kingsbury in Warwickshire where the road dives straight across
Kingsbury Water Park, that there would be extremely bad fog there. I
remember trying to cross the railway line near Dosthill in Tamworth on
the way to (and from) school and not being able to see far enough to
tell if there's even a slow train approaching!

Either I don't get up early enough to see that sort of fog or we just
don't get it these days.
