About 3-ish last night I got up and looked out the window seeing mist.
It seemed quite thick but when I went for a walk at 6 am-ish there was
no trace of it.

Wouldn't the pavement slabs have been damp? Only one or two cars
(parked overnight on the road) showed a little dew.

OK, so it was an adiabatic thing but once there is precipitation or
condensation, it's out of the cycle, no?

Flavio stepped up a notch or two over the last few hours:

Intense tropical cyclone Favio is forecast to strike Mozambique as a
very intense tropical cyclone at about 00:00 GMT on 22 February. Data
supplied by the US Navy and Air Force Joint Typhoon Warning Center
suggest that the point of landfall will be near 23.4 S, 36.4 E. Favio
is expected to bring 1-minute maximum sustained winds to the region of
around 212 km/h (132 mph). Wind gusts in the area may be considerably
higher.

So that keeps everything in line with the increased mistiness this
spell; which incidentally must be an archetype for that sort of thing.

Some pretty, ground hugging stuff this morning, developed well, then
dispersed as ephemeral as anything outside of Hollywood or wherever
they used to make those naff Hammer films in the bad old days.

I gto mention that along with the exceptionally warm weather the mist
is not sheltering us from, came a fairly large earthquake:

232 Kph, that's pretty strong is it not?Jan Van Meeus

Well the spell is not over -despite the wishes of several people, not
least of which is a Welsh magician.
Sorry but I can't help it.

And now to open this topic for discussion with people I have not
trained to fear me:

Does anyone know the various algorithms that are used to plug in the
positions of the moon?

It's a simple question and if you can't say yes, say nothing.

However if you would care to chance your arm with a comment on the
first diagramme in this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_phase
you may learn something.

There was a forecast for mists on the local weather spot on the early
evening news yesterday but no sign or remark about it on this mornings
spots......

Never the less an increase in the tropical cyclonic activity:

Google seems to be playing up once more, so I apologise in advance for
any duplication.
