Dense fog was present throughout the Chicago area two days prior to Christmas. Visibilities only dropped as the day progressed and there were many delays/cancellations due to the low IFR. Numerous go arounds occurred while I was spotting, but they were already in the clouds and could only be heard. This was probably one of my favorite planespotting days of all time because it was so fun to spot in these conditions. I loved the condensation coming off the wings, the approach + runway lights reflecting off the planes, and close up taxi patterns that occurred. The heavy aircraft that taxied right by the hill sent a burst of warm air which was neat. It was also very nice to catch the Arizona Cardinals 777 equipped with Trent 800s as it appeared out of the thick cloud cover. I really hope there are some more foggy days this coming year to spot in.
