11/21/09 Valley Fog & Frost

Valley fog along the horizon near a creek

Today, a Dense Fog Advisory was issued in surrounding-areas...I added a few photos of the foggy and frosty start to the day from earlier this morning across portions of west-central Illinois. The fog wasn't as dense as I would have hoped for, but oh well. It was nice to dust off the DSLR once again! Most of the photos were shot with a Canon 60mm macro-lens and a Canon 70-300mm telephoto lens:

Love these "two-seasons-in-one" shots
More fog along the rural-landscape...
Pretty dense in some areas I'd say...
More fall foliage laying around the yard
Wide-angle shot of the foggy and frosty horizon 
Frost crystals (macro-lens)
A great example of valley fog...a creek is located in the
background where fog
has developed yet everywhere else fog
is almost non-existent...
Sun giving the landscape and valley fog an orange hue
Cool stuff indeed...
More valley fog along a creek to my immediate south

As far as when are we going to see our first-inch of snow...Well, I think this next system should wrap-in enough cold-air to see the first "flakes" of the year come early-to-mid next week in this area...but to early to claim this one will drop at least an inch of snow...Little confidence in this right now with model issues on timing and handling the overall solution. We'll see what happens...
