A interesting day here in the Motherwell area.
Last nights freezing fog gave way to a crisp and sunny morning by dawn with
temps falling back to -2ºC under the morning blue skies.
Reached a maximum of 3.8ºC this afternoon, soon after which the fog rolled
back up through the valleys and now its back to thick freezing fog.
Visibility at this location no more than 60 yards at the moment, so much
thicker than yesterday - when there was a spate of road accidents in this
part of Scotland, hopefully the inexperienced fog drivers have learned how
to switch on their fog lights and slow down this evening.
I note some areas around Glasgow have been shrouded in freezing fog all day.
Alex.

Much of Glasgow and the surrounding area have been in fog since early
yesterday. The sequence of Obs from Glasgow Bishopton report 200m vis or
less since 08Z on Wednesday, falling to 60m at times. Similar conditions
have been reported from Greenock.

No doubt Air pollution is also generating hazards in the fog also esp from
Traffic.

Conditions should improve overnight as the Atlantic Weather begins to move
in and boundary layer is mixed up.

Fog at last cleared from this part of Renfrewshire, starting around
17.00. Clear as a bell now-------thank goodness ------been shrouded in
it since yesterday morning.

I have often wondered at what temperature who get freezing fog ( I know
someone is going to say zero, but its surely not as straight forward as
hat - is it)

Its currently +1.0c outside with fog - grass is frozen but other surfaces
appear wet.

I remember when I lived in Irlam, Manchester many years ao we had freezing
fog on many occassion, it was so thick sometimes that it started to give the
impression it was snowing

Ah! But of course (see the other thread), the fog was on untreated
roads, so all those misfortunes were inevitable.
