            Abstract : 
This paper describes two solutions for detecting snow and fog, respectively, in traffic scenes. The former weather condition is detected by modeling the video luminance with a mixture of Gaussians (MoG), while the latter is detected analyzing the Fourier harmonic frequencies.
