We've been having weather lately. The last couple of days there was very dense fog here near the lake. So I've been going over to the lake to take photos, because fog is cool. The visibility on the road was less than a tenth of a mile in places, to my best estimate. I had an early meeting this morning, and then half an hour between it and my regular start time, so I went over to the lake. The fog was so thick I could barely make out the waves on the beach a hundred feet below me.

For the last couple of days they've been talking about severe storms this evening. We actually got an alert at work today, recommending people leave the office early, though I was WFH. Cindy was visiting friends tonight, so I was on my own, and I went out for a sub. After that, I went back to the lake. The fog had cleared in advance of the storm, so there were clouds. I was there for just a few minutes, and halfway home the torrential rain started. A few minutes after I got home, we had hail for half a minute. And then it was over pretty quickly. But all around us, the storms were much worse. There were a few thousand people without power in Milwaukee.

Then I had a committee meeting, and I went back to the lake at 8:00. The sun was coming out from below the clouds, and the clouds were dramatic, so I just stood for the longest time watching them and taking tons of pictures. It was reasonable warm with a light breeze, and it was really pleasant. A nice end to my birthday.
