Snow and Sea Fog

There's snow today in 49 states - can you guess which is the odd one out?

Mizzou has shut down several days in a row, due to 'upcoming predicted disastrous and historic weather events' - A.K.A. a blizzard that dumped TWO FEET of snow on Missouri (more on states to the north and the west). They shut down the main highways. Tabi said that the local roads are empty, too, except those few people who can walk to critical jobs, and the apparently unstoppable UPS trucks. Tina made a video about what it meant to be one of Mizzou's 'situationally critical' employees - namely that the R.A.'s are shoveling snow and staffing the dining halls.

But they can't complain. Because you know what? In Florida we have SEA FOG. That's right. This morning it was so thick, I couldn't see Winn-Dixie from the library. Temperatures on the beach sometimes drop overnight to the icy 40's.
