Kind of how fog FEELS in a fire lookout tower .. it can be claustrophobic after a couple of days

And this was after the visibility finally improved from nil to about 1/8 mile (and yes, your world is basically one big whiteout):

2. This would be hard to take for more than a few hours.

6. I'll bet

Where did it all go? Is anything out there? Where did the view go? Will it ever be back?

7. My office used to be on the 21st floor of a 25 story building.

Sometime cloud cover was low enough that there was no view. It was like working wrapped in cotton batting.

8. At least...

You can see SOMETHING down below, could get weird otherwise.

9. Oh, my. I can absolutely imagine it and claustrophobic would not begin to cover it...

I've experienced blizzards >24 hours when you did not go far outside your front door, seeing virtually nothing for hours at a time in front of you, and deep snow gave no landmarks. I have a friend who died west of Boulder, having done so (though she may have had a heart attack--no autopsy was done).

So, yeah, that fog would certainly feel isolating.

10. At first I thought the full image wasn't coming through.... Imagine how we'll all feel when the internet looks like this

Sorry - very off-topic. But isolation is scary in many forms. That's why prisons use it as punishment.
