1. As a Londoner, I can happily confirm that!

It's as cold as **** in the capital but truly, breathtakingly beautiful right now. The fog gives everything and eerie, timeless quality. Street noise is dulled. It's oddly comforting.

3. No doubt it helps that neither of us

is stuck at Heathrow :D. The photos are beautiful.

4. Absolutely!

Although, judging from that amazing last picture, if you're stuck ABOVE Heathrow the view makes it worthwhile! :wow:

7. I'd be preoccupied with

landing in that fog. From my distance it's gorgeous.:D We have a lot of fog here in the hilly areas around rivers but not near our airports.

6. My kid got stuck there...

for 2 DAYS!!! Then the airline demanded that anyone who wasn't re-booked or whose re-book had been cancelled VACATE THE AIRPORT. WHAT A NIGHTMARE!!!

14. I got out just before things went to hell at Heathrow.

The fog on the way down to Heathrow on the coach was amazing, though. Can't say I remember what it looked like from above, as I was in deep sleep at that point, working off the brain fog from the previous evening's christmas party.

5. My daughter just moved to England last week so these photos...

were great for me. Thanks!

8. Great pictures. I want to go back to the British Isles, but the US dollar against the

pound is killing me!

9. Ohhhh.. I really like #4 and #6. So pretty! n/t

10. Not to detract from the asthetic

and it's probably just me but that last shot, and this abnormal winter, really makes me think of the film Day After Tomorrow.

15. As I was saying in another thread, fog in London in winter is normal.

BUT that said, it has been unseasonably warm until last week, and there was a tornado last week as well - THAT is abnormal!

11. break out the Charles Dickens

looks like what he was describing in "A Christmas Carol" (well, sans some coal smog).

We get our share of fog here in "sunny" California. A Belgian friend nearly froze to death while visiting us one July... the Bay Area fog rolled in and he was not ready for it. And the valleys get tule fog- otherwise known as ground fog... and the multi-car pile ups that ensue.
