Saw some of the reports on the TV at the SIL's house. Some drivers reported less than a foot of visibility.

Got into a couple of situations like that years ago on the lower Jersey Tpk. You could see the wall of fog a short way out but it would be too late to slow down completely unless you were lucky enough to pick up a brake light... They actually installed large propellers on towers to try and reduce the fog in some places... I don't know if that ever worked or if they're still there...
