General
On this mornings satellite picture a few darker patches can be seen in the vicinity of the Neem site. These patches are probably ice fog patches formed below the very strong surface inversion. The latter is formed by relatively calm wind conditions and clear skies which favour radiative cooling (the model indicates -28C but i would not be surprised when it was colder than that).
