Wow.

It was clear, just a tiny bit hazy at the horizon when I woke up. That was about fifteen minutes ago. Now I can barely see outside my window for the solid wall of white fog.

Both pretty and creepy at the same time. I just hope there aren't Things slithering in there.

One afternoon when I was at work this bank of fog rolled across until I couldn't even see the building just across from mine. I admit I was glad when it vanished before I went home, it was eerie to see it come out of a clear sky.

It is! And it keeps getting thicker. Just very...interesting.

If you see tentacles I advise staying indoors :P

A really good thick fog always reminds me of the wall of antimatter from Crisis on Infinite Earths.

I think thats sound advice in any weather.

Provided of course the tenticles are outside.

I've only read The Mist once (in fact, it was long enough ago I'm not entirely sure that was the title, but there was fog, and it was bad fog, and it was by King with a name that referenced the fog, so the name seems to fit the story) and was, in fact, later that week on the ferry to Victoria for a class trip when we went through the densest fog bank I have ever been in. I was reading when we went in and sitting by my lonesome on the deck, and I look up and we're in the middle of this thick, thick fog and visibility fades around the other end of the bench. Can't see anyone or anything except the bench and a little nearby deck.

Mwuahahaha.

The Mist is one of my /favorite/ King short stories.

Fog is to Silent Hill fans what gunshot/explosion sounds are to PTSD war vets. Everytime I see fog or wind up in one, I fucking freeze for a moment. Hahaha... I was driving back from Sumter yesterday at 1am when I suddenly found myself enveloped in fog. My instinct knee-jerk response was to slam on the brakes -- and I almost did, but regained composure in time. Still, though... Fog... (shudder)

Driving in fog is no love at all. Last time I went up to Kentucky, in the mountains there was fog and driving rain up in the mountains. Couldn't see three feet in front of you and the roads were twisty and slippery. Didn't help that the natives were cheerfully plowing forward at speed limit, either.

Also, am I the only one who looks at Sumter and sees an /incredibly/ creepy little town? Like Silent Hill creepy, or Derry creepy, or the place from American Gothic. It's the kind of place where you expect to walk around the corner one day and find a diseased skinless dog chewing on the head of someone.
