You're suggesting that reflection is somehow seeing "around" the fog?

By that reasoning, suppose I held a mirror at my nose and looked at  
the tree in its reflection. Would there be even less fog since the  
reflecting surface is VERY much closer?

Actually, the distance to the tree is further in the reflection, thus  
carrying your line of vision through MORE fog.

Just a thought experiment.
