Like Pea Soup

This is the time of year when we get foggy weather. It seems more pronounced in recent years, but I read that it's been common during late autumns for decades. The weather, in general, can vary greatly here depending which side of a mountain one is on. Other factors affecting the climate are proximity to the sea or river as well as southern or northern exposure.



I took this photo from my balcony last night. I could hardly see Columbia Street. Down here next to the Fraser River, the fog stays. In fact it never really cleared today. As soon as I headed down Eighth Street on the way back from school this afternoon, I re-entered the blanket of fog. I like it.

On Facebook I wrote this last night:

I find this thick fog sort of nice and comforting. It's like being inside during a winter Nor'easter on the US east coast or a spring shamal in the Gulf of the Mid-east.
