How do you describe fog without using a thousand and one clichés? I suppose you could say that this morning the fog was as thick as pea soup, but seeing as I have never seen nor eaten pea soup I am not sure about the accurateness of that cliché. The fog was pretty thick this morning, but to me it wasn’t thick enough to cut it with a knife.
One New Year’s Eve though I drove in a suffocating fog that made me feel like I was the only person on Earth. The headlights of my car bounced off the heavy vapor surrounding me and the ground-level clouds muffled sounds better than any sound studio could have.
