Sylphs are winged beings of the air, open spaces, clouds and protectors of Gan Eden, high peaks and wilderness mountains. A branch from among the Sidhe, Sylphs control the weather and extremes of nature. Childling Sylphs are called Cherubs. Shown is an artistic representation of the Sylphs from Crystalinks. Titled "Sylphs", I call it "Fae Of The Sapphire Skies". Though Sylphs are faeries of the air, there is nothing "airy fairy" (fluffy) about them.

Twin-Engine Plane Crashes in North Carolina, Killing All Six Onboard
Friday, February 01, 2008
MOUNT AIRY, N.C. — A twin-engine plane crashed Friday as it tried to land amid low fog at a small airport in northwest North Carolina, killing all six people on board, officials said.
Stephanie Conner, a Surry County emergency services shift supervisor, said investigators had confirmed there were no survivors.
Surry County officials said the King Air C90A crashed in a neighborhood near the Mount Airy airport around 11:30 a.m. The plane split in half after falling into a grassy area between two homes.
The plane took off in Cedartown, Ga., Woodberry said, and the passengers were on their way to Primland, a hunting and golf resort in Meadows of Dan, Va., about 25 miles north of the Mount Airy airport, according to Kelvin Boyette, the airport manager.
"There was a really low fog, it was raining a little bit and an occasional sleet pellet. But visibility was more than a 2 1/2 miles," he said.
The plane is registered to Blue Sky Airways in Dallas, Ga., according to FAA records.

Just an interesting note: There has been an extremely odd thick blanket of fog covering the entire area here in east-central IL and west central IN all day long. Visibility at times on the road is only 30 feet if not less. It's been here all day, since before the sun rose and is still present long after sunset. Extremely odd for this area. I've lived in the area most of my life and I've never seen such an odd lingering thick fog like this before around here.
Today's fog definitely counts as an extreme of weather.
