These photos of dense fog Tuesday morning are courtesy of our intern, Monika Bec. The first one was taken off I-88 near DeKalb and the second was taken in Plainfield. Visibilities continued to be quite limited Tuesday evening with some areas less than a quarter of a mile.

Denny Sands relays this photo to us taken this year back on November, 7. I thought you mind find his accompanying e-mail interesting.
“While fishing at Shabbona Lake in DeKalb County, on November 7th, 2007, my fishing partner Tom Adair, said look at that. In the Sky was two airplane trails making an "X" in the sky. Looking more closely, we saw where one plane veered off, but yet a trail continued.
We determined the darker trail was actually a shadow that was caused by the sun lining up making a shadow which perfectly continued the "X".’
Thanks for sharing this with us, Denny!

Last week on Friday, in the wake of an Upper Midwest early season snow, we shared with you some winter wonderland shots sent along by our friend Dan Hanson in Winter, Wisconsin. Dan got back to us this morning with a follow-up shot positioned at exactly the same spot he snapped the snow scene on Friday—only this one was taken in 54-degree temperatures Sunday afternoon---two days later! As Dan says in his e-mail to us, “What a difference 2 days make!” Thanks again Dan for the the pictures and the update.
