Fog You Can Bank On

In many places the weather is the same for miles around; however, around Vancouver a few kilometers can make a lot of difference. It sometimes rains on one side of a hill whereas it's as dry as a bone on the other. There are effects from the mountains and the sea. Most importantly, in this part of downtown New Westminster, we're affected by the Fraser River. We can be completely socked in with fog, while uptown basks in sunshine.


A harbinger of autumn: This photo shows the first fog I've noticed
for a long time. I snapped it from the balcony just seconds ago.
