Thick fog is actually beautiful, if you are outside of it.

How high can those damned things fly?
5000-6000m above sea level.
In the EU it is allowed to fly drones privately no more than 120m above the ground, if you're in a "green" zone (which is out of urban areas, generally).
I cheated and made it 200m this time, since the air was free of traffic. I temporarily switched off the transponder that broadcasts my drone's registered ID.
