Foghorns, temperature inversions, and uneasy views into the void of clouds where mountains should be in the distance. A fog has blanketed itself over parts of the region, Downtown Vancouver included, so I thought it would be a good time for some quick fog facts and photos.

Photos of Downtown Vancouver in the Snow – December 20, 2022 A walk around the city after a significant snowfall.

I recently toured around Pacific Rim National Park with Parks Canada, and the Wild Pacific Trail with an interpretive guide, and they’ve shown me some of the safest, coolest places to storm watch in Ucluelet and Tofino.
