that was my first thought, but it looked like it was pluming upwards from one spot, and quite quickly... So I really don't know.

It is really foggy this morning. I can't see any of the buildings I can usually see out of my window. It's kinda cool, like working in a cloud!

It was insanely foggy this morning. Coming up Church St. I could literally see it lifting around about 7:50 though.
