This often causes freezing fog on mountaintops, where the [[Ceiling (cloud)|cloud ceiling]] would not otherwise be low enough. '''Valley fog''' forms in mountain [[valley]]s, often during winter. It is essentially a radiation fog confined by local topography and can last for several days in calm conditions. In California's [[Central Valley (California)|Central Valley]], valley fog is often referred to as [[tule fog]]. [[File:High Desert Fog.jpg|thumb|[[Yucca Valley, California]] [[tule fog]]]]
