Stunning wall of sea smoke rises as freezing temperatures hit the US

AN ICY fog above Lake Superior shows the freezing American temperatures hitting land as the country braces for a mega storm over Christmas.

The wall of fog was filmed as the warm temperature of Lake Superior, the largest of the five great lakes, quickly evaporated in the freezing incoming air.

Rising hundreds of feet in the below-freezing air – the wave of fog creates a rare scene which stunned locals who had rarely seen such a sight.

The footage, which is believed to have taken place last week, sees the fog enter near Duluth Harbor in Minnesota.

Reports suggest the temperatures were even more deadly just miles away at the town of Embarrass where they dropped to -38F.

Ridiculous. Does every common occurrence have to be hyped in fluff news pieces? I grew up with Lake Superior 200 feet out my foot door. It didn't happen every winter, but "sea smoke" fog was not a rare phenomenon. All it took was cold air hitting the unfrozen Lake.
