"TOTAL PEA SOUP": HEAVY FOG ON MAJOR FREEWAYS IN EAST COUNTY

December 8, 2012 (La Mesa)--East County freeways are socked in by fog described as "pea soup" by ECM journalist Paul Kruze. Kruze reports zero visibility at 10:10 p.m. through La Mesa including the junction of Interstate 8 and State Route 125. Kruze said he relied on speed bumps to avoid going off the roadway due to the thick fog.

The National Weather Service has forecast heavy fog for tonight across much of the county, as well as high winds.  Avoid driving if possible and be sure to use low beam settings on your headlights if you encounter fog.
