I got stuck with a weather story on Tuesday at the Boston Globe.

I actually really like writing about the weather, and I love weather maps and statistics and even lightening storms.

But I wasn’t prepared for the response I’d get for a simple story about advection fog rolling over Boston on Tuesday.

There were emails about conspiracy theories — people thought the government was sending Swing Flu through the fog. There were emails calling my an idiot, telling me to get a real job and write about real things. There were references about Kennedy flatulence. And there were cool emails with photos.

Here are the photos.
