As a former lakeside dweller in New Hampshire, I'm a big fan of fog.

Yes, seasonal fog and rain from the north.

become visible as fog in the air or dew on the ground.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://starryskies.com/articles/2007/10/fog.html">Fogs during summer will only happen with clear skies and near 100% humidity. 
There must also be condensation nuclei – or something onto which the water can 
condense. Condensation nuclei can be dust particles, aerosols, pollutants etc.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://starryskies.com/articles/2007/10/fog.html"><P>Fog can form at lower humidity levels if there are a really large amount of nuclei, especially if it is something such as salt.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://starryskies.com/articles/2007/10/fog.html">The basic requirements for fog to form are moisture in the air – the closer to 
100% humidity the better, and the air near the ground must be cooling to within 
5 F (3 C) of dew point – this is the temperature to which air must be cooled in 
order for water vapor in the air to condense to liquid water.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://starryskies.com/articles/2007/10/fog.html">During winter – fog forms in a different manner, almost the opposite of summer
