Anyone know what type of fog this is? And how it is formed?

It looks like a blanket of fog in chilly air over warm water, I forget the
official name for it. And if it is in St Paul Minn, it's well above Mark
Twain country IIRC.


I know, but its a good example of fog on the mississippi, best picture
I could find.




Would you be scared to navigate in this fog?

If it was on a river with current, yes.


Looks like a wide river most every river Ive been in had some
currents.

Are you talking current in excess of your boat ability to make
headway?

If not( assuming you have a good radar) why would you be scared, its
easy to steer by compass and radar, and correcting for set sould not
be to difficult.
with a good radar picture.
