A car crosses the David E. Douthit Veterans Memorial Bridge over the Kenai River through dense fog on Tuesday, Oct. 31, 2017 in Soldotna, Alaska. A heavy fog rolled over the western Kenai Peninsula Tuesday evening, resulting in cancelled flights in and out of the Kenai Municipal Airport and ensconcing Halloween trick-or-treaters in an eerie mist colored orange or white by the streetlamps. By morning, the fog had thinned and the temperature dropped to the high 20s, with some fog predicted to continue in the morning and evening through Wednesday and Thursday, according to the National Weather Service.
