I used to live up in Arrowhead and when the fog would come in I wouldn't be able to see the hood of the car, driving into town would take me 45min to 1hr to drive a 20min drive. With the roads winding all over the place and no rails, it made for some intense driving.
I feel for ya girl,,,I don't miss it

Boating in the fog is cool. Not to mention cold. Nothing like a bottle of Jack and heading out across the lake in the fog, then hit the beach and light a fire. :cool:

Im with you, fog is annoying.
But if its Tully Fog...that kicks ass! I love that fog, and love driving in it, especially through fields or mountains. Its just beautiful and if you drive safely you can enjoy the scene. :smile:

I can always tell when people have come up from the valley to get away from the fog, after a couple of weeks of it. Miserable stuff.
They get this "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" Alumni look about them.
Our place is right at the elevation where we look down on the grey blanket. Sometimes the Sutter Buttes look like islands poking up through the fog...

That is funny to read the Sutter Buttes on here.... My family has a ranch at the base of the Buttes!!!! Since I live 5 hours away from there.... I never hear about the Buttes!!!! :D

It was foggy here the other morning. I feel sorry for you having to drive in that. I usually have such a headache afterwards. Total concentration, just waiting for something to suddenly be there :messedup: in front of you.

Info, I tried to take a pic last night of the fog......NO WAY. Its just a white blanket. Took my sister and I 3 HOURS to get home last night. We had 10 feet of visibility and I wouldnt even drive in it. I am the biggest chicken shit. I was so sick to my stomach last night after driving in that crap...we ended up going off the road....a road we drive every day. Its some scary stuff and worse out there today. CHP Pace car this morning ..........and you cant even see the f'ng pace car. Yea right. :supp: :(

Multi-Car Crash Shuts Down I-5
Several Big Rigs Involved In Crash North Of Sacramento
POSTED: 9:44 am PST December 15, 2004
UPDATED: 9:58 am PST December 15, 2004
WOODLAND, Calif. -- A crash involving at least three big rigs and several other vehicles has shut down Interstate 5 north of Sacramento.
The crash happened at about 9 a.m. in the southbound lanes, just north of where the freeway crosses the Sacramento River.
The southbound lanes of I-5 are closed in the area. Traffic is being diverted off the freeway at County Road 102. Northbound traffic is also being affected.
It's not known how many people have been injured.
California Highway Patrol spokesman Jim Harris said a prison transport vehicle may be among the vehicles involved in the crash.
Authorities said thick fog in the area may have contributed to the pileup.

Pardon my tangent question...do you guys live near or on Lake Comanche? Sorry...I saw the reference to the Comanche bridge and had to ask.

I live about 7 minutes from Comanche. I am between Lake Hogan and Comanche, off Comanche Parkway.

I'll be...My family used to have one of those double wides in the North shore cove. If you were standing at the General store looking out to the lake it would be behind you to your left. Is the lake still as gorgeous as it used to be? We stopped going in the late 80's, but I still love the lake and miss it.

LOL it must follow me as I saw a bit of fog in Yuma of all places a few weeks ago. I flew out of Sac last friday night and at 5:30 they were diverting incoming flights to Oakland and I had to switch to a different airline to get out, it was causing a mess.
