pea soup fog
Dense green haze
Pea soup fog is an extremely thick, dense fog that limits visibility to near zero—the kind where you can barely see your hand in front of your face.
The term evokes the opacity and yellowish-green tint of split pea soup: We couldn't drive in that pea soup fog.
Historically associated with London's notorious smogs, which combined fog with coal smoke pollution.
