Sure is!

We don't get much fog in the Finger Lakes but we do get ten feet of snow annually. The same features would hold true when visibility is limited. Driveway snow plows and deer are more dangerous than other cars.

Not being a meteorologist, I'll have to google what a advection cloud is. I'll take a guess that it has to do with a formation formed by heat and/or convection.

Along those lines, it was a clear cold night in western New York last night. I looked at the full moon and there was a huge, faint ring around it. I don't think that I had ever seen that before - at least I don't remember one.

I have full LED's. They do produce great light and are cool looking. However, I am 99% sure they are not "smart" in any way. No movement, range extension based on speed, etc... Just nice bright light. The "fog" lights, just turn on the cornering LEDs. not very high tech. Not sure what the fog lights do on the rear of the car. The cornering LEd's go on when signaling and turning, then fade off after the turn is complete. They don't move at all just shoot light sideways.

Get innovation to avoid Deer...

I have the US Spec full LEDs. Tonight, when I turned on the car, I noticed that they actually lower then rise after the car starts... I didn't think they were supposed to do that ? Has anyone else seen this?

The US spec LED lights do move up and down when you start the car to calibrate and adjust to keep the lights level. I believe they are set to the maximum allowable throw for US regulations.

For the Fog lights in the rear:

Just thought I would post this to show the cornering light location on the LEDs

Yes, I've said that a couple times. They are self-leveling, but only apparently if you have the light switch set to "Auto".

Essentially, advection is a fancy word for movement. In the example above, there was a warm front moving warmer air aloft, making the long flat, sideways moving clouds (like stratus or cirrus) associated with that regime. Cold air advection typically creates upward moving, bulbous clouds (cumulous, etc...) typical of a summertime thunderstorm.

When you see a ring around the moon like that, it usually means there is a storm on the way. The effect is from ice crystals very high up in the atmosphere (thin cirrus clouds) moving in in advance of a storm and moonlight being refracted by those crystals. Typically, the more the ring contracts, the closer the storm is.

It's cool that we can now see some of this phenomena with the technology in the car.

Yeah, that moon roof is something, Eh?
