fog

Ever feel like you're in a fog?

Foggy Custom House

Peter McStravick looked out his window this morning, wondered if David Copperfield was in town.

Fog eats Pru

City disappears as 6 o'clock approaches

Foggy downtown

Amazing how quickly the fog consumed downtown. Jamie Merrill watched downtown disappear around 5 p.m. (meanwhile, still sunny here in Roslindale).

Sunset through the fog

Foggy sunset

All the mist from melting snow and ice made for an unusual sunset at Jamaica Pond this evening. Tucker Walsh was there to capture it.

You could be walking around in a fog tonight

The National Weather Service warns we're in for some serious fog tonight:

A FEW AREAS WILL SEE VISIBILITY OF ONE QUARTER MILE OR LESS LATE TONIGHT... ESPECIALLY TOWARD THE COAST. ... VISIBILITY COULD DROP SUDDENLY WITHOUT MUCH WARNING. SLOW DOWN AND USE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. ...

In all caps, because weather is too important to leave to lower case.

More ominous fog descends on downtown Boston

Tom O'Keefe captures the scene from the 70-Smoot marker on the Mass. Ave. Bridge this morning.

Most impressive fog

Gloom

The gloom approaches, as seen from the bridge crossing over the train tracks in Readville.

Around 6:30 or so, I was in Readville, where you could get a very nice view of the this big gray/black blob enveloping downtown - or at least, where downtown was supposed to be - even as the sky over Readville was still mostly blue (with some thunderhead-like clouds building up to the south). Almost looked more like smoke from a huge fire than clouds. Went shopping at the Hyde Park Shaw's (alert Steve Garfield: Looks like they're getting ready to change some of the aisles around!), by the time I got out, around 7, the gloom had enveloped Hyde Park and Roslindale. Wasn't particularly dense, but, man, did it make everything sticky.

Into the murk

Fog

Yeah, it's just the big microwave tower behind the Dunkin' Donuts and soon-to-be CVS at Washington Street and the West Roxbury Parkway in Roslindale. What's unusual about the photo is that I was basically right across the street from it when I took it, around 4:30 p.m., when the fog was dropping out of the sky like an unraveling roll of cotton gauze.
