Snow or fog

You need to find a better method of getting to work if some fog keeps you from getting in all day. That's insane.

The way you just described driving doesn't even sound safe on a normal day.
 
I am not sure about the fog in the OP's situation but here yesterday it was like pea soup. You honestly could not see just a few feet in front of you. And I was very concerned for dd driving in it. The fog did not lift all day and last night, as a I drove down the highway, I kept losing where I was because I couldn't see the lights of business or even the traffic lights until I was right on top of them.
 
I can't speak for where you live but where I live drivers don't stay on the road they will go on the side walk resulting might hitting me heck that almost happens in a rain storm

Wait, you are saying that people in cars regularly leave the road and drive on the sidewalk?? Forget fog or snow - that would be enough for me never leave the house.
 

Fog. It was a lot better than the brief snow storm we had earlier this week. I still can't wait for this nasty weather to let up though. Traffic is terrible no matter how early I leave. :(
 
We are not talking just a little fog that I can handle we are talking no visablity what so ever

No doubt fog can create hazardous conditions. My earlier point was, have you ever driven on snow, or through a whiteout, to be able to make a comparison?

Definitely fog is easier. We get both around here, once in a while the kind of fog where you REALLY can't see even a few feet in front of you and have to just find the line for the road and follow it (and hope all the other cars were smart enough to turn on their lights so you can see them before you hit them) as you move at 10 mph.

However snow has white out conditions too, while also making slippery roads and that would also mean windy conditions. This is much worse.

The times we get the torrential downpours that you can't see through are also worse. My area has a few intersections that also don't drain right so they become lakes and cars stall and end up stuck in them.

I think my list of worst driving conditions would be:

1) freezing rain - This makes a sheet of ice over everything... very pretty almost like those places that have flowers etc that are encased in glass... but its literally an ice skating rink, not even safe to try to walk on never mind drive.
2) Sleet/slush - These are items that come at about the same point of freezing rain so there is a possibility of getting that instead.
3) Snow with white out conditions
4) The first nice day in spring where everyone decides the roads are finally good so they are going to dive 20 mph faster then they should (we get more accidents on this day then most of the days with snow...)
5) Snow without the wind to make white out conditions
6) Extremely heavy rain
7) Thick Fog
 
I would imagine that your school would delay the start time if the fog was that heavy.
