fogged in...

my balcony view totally fogged in

Woke up this morning with fog sealing us in up here in the muffin penthouse. It's like being in a white out - you can't even see the lights from the building across the street. It's pretty cool and weird at the same time. I love how you can watch it move - and the fog blows through like a current between the buildlings thickening, thinning only to thicken again. It is very cool. I suppose it is a good thing that I romanticize fog living in SF and all.

Wow
That fog is awesome :)
We get that type of fog like once a year only

this time of year it is almost daily. its crazy living up this high because you can see swirl in over the hills - and invade like an army. and it's even cooler when it swirls in SUPER thick and you are above it and the city becomes a big meringue pie with only the tallest buildings and hills poking out.

Wow :)

I recall the first time I experienced a San Francisco fog, circa 1985. I was walking near Union Square late one evening and watched with fascination as an eerie blanket of fog silently rolled down the hill. It was breathtaking and a little frightening, too. I suppose my reaction was akin to what people from tropical climates feel when experiencing snow for the first time.

it is so super cool sitting up so high and watching it all happen. It's a daily reminder why living in San Francisco is so friggin' awesome!

I think I've mentioned before that I envy your view.

Looks like Vancouver! ;-)

the difference is we're about 20 degrees warmer and the fog retreats occasionally. and we get about a 1/3 of the rain of Vancouver. I grew up in the islands south of Vancouver, north of Seattle - and they used to say moss grew on the north side of our bodies. My last winter in Seattle they had 108 straight days of overcast misty fog spit. It was enough for me.

I can believe it. It was a treat to see the sun this morning, and we were only there 5 days!

The fog is thick and rich over here in Berkeley this morning too! I love living in SF!

In KC, we would only get fog like this once or twice a year. (We would also get the idiots driving without lights, especially those in silver/gray vehicles!)

The fog is lovely here in Westwood, too. It rolls down the valley between here and Daly City like a soft white river.
