Fog is weird, these days.
Fog used to be pretty common here when I was a kid. I can remember lots of days walking to school and hearing the Pt. Atkinson fog horning going. This past week we’ve had a return to that kind of weather. I’ve even heard the fog horns once in a while (though they aren’t as prominent as they were years ago.
The strange part of all this is that, up on the north shore mountains, it’s sunny and warm. Heck, it’s down right hot. I was up there today and it was 18 degrees.
I don’t know if temperature inversions are really rarer now than they were 30 years ago but, man, it’s weird to get off at the top of the Grouse skyride and feel a wave of air 12 degrees warmer than down at the base.
