Such is the nature of Mississippi river ground fog. You can see stuff through it, and sticking up above it .. but RVR (runway visual range) is zero. I'd usually get in, when the vis improved slightly, flying a Cat-3 autoland approach. But sometimes it was off to the alternate .. usually KMCI (Kansas City).
