Narrative:
After preflight, I wiped all windows off of condensation that had formed overnight. I was taxiing out to the active, going around a corner in the taxiway and a jet in front of me seemed to blow a fog bank into me. I braked in the fog and the tip of the right propeller struck a taxiway light. I notified ground control and taxied to the side, shut down and inspected the airplane. A bent propeller tip was noted whereupon I taxied back to the FBO.
