Fog Alert
As we move into late fall, moisture and cooler temperatures can create patches of dense fog in low lying areas, especially near drainages and rivers. Conditions can go from perfectly clear in one place to thick, dense fog around a bend in the highway. Visibility may be significantly reduced in these areas. Under some circumstances, freezing fog can also occur. Make sure your vehicle lights are all in good working condition and your vehicle is prepared for winter driving conditions.
