Hate to start a "my fog is bigger than your fog"... But that isn't very
bad. On the hills ringing parts of the SF bay, the fog/low clouds can
get quite thick. Fog like your shot is quite common on summer nights at
certain points in the fog cycle just up the hill from us.
I've been on Grizzly Peak Blvd. when I literally opened the door and
drove very slowly by following the yellow line as seen looking down
right beside the car until I came to a lighter patch and found a road to
turn down. Nothing else could be seen at all. That thick is quite rare,
fortunately. Fog thicker than your shot is pretty common. You can get it
during some winter storms too, really low clouds then. Never as thick as
the worst summer stuff, but still making for very slow, careful going.
I avoid routes that go that way during storms; Low visibility, high
winds and wet roads make for a dangerous ride. They recently put up some
new guard rails when another of the occasional cars went over the side
down a very steep slope.
