this fog today is a push of warmer air, trying to push into maryland. in some cases, it has arrived. 52 in oakland. and 46 in ocean city. but with the snow that was already on the ground and a light wind in the air, there's not a whole lot to mix up this atmosphere. and you can see in baltimore, we've gotten stuck in that fog. and it's only 36 degrees. so all of that warm air is rushing up to the
