Weather Challenges in the San Francisco Bay Area

We have weather challenges here in the San Francisco Bay Area, too

Just so those of you struggling with cold, snow and ice don't think every winter day is gorgeous here in San Francisco and San Mateo counties, take a look at these two pictures taken 1 day apart.

sunny day in San FranciscoFog along the Sawyer Camp Trail

Saturday was glorious, with blue skies, sun, and warmth in the air. Sunday we woke to heavy fog, which made for a very damp, chilly morning run at the Sawyer Camp Trail along the Crystal Springs lake. (Click on the link to see what it really looks like on a clear day!) Monday we had drizzle. Today--too early to tell. Each day is a surprise here, but we usually manage to get out an enjoy whatever form it takes!

Hope yours is a good one today!

Hi Lottie, We are about to experience this same effect ( not as dramatic I am sure) here in San Diego. Check your link for the Sawyer Camp Trail Photo, it brings one back to this same post.

Hi William, thanks for the heads-up about the incorrect link. All fixed now. I think of "June Gloom" affecting San Diego; I didn't know you'd get heavy fog in the winter, too--hope it does't last long.

Debra, what would you say if I told you I took an early morning (6:00 AM) hike with a friend, in the sprinkles, got caught in a HUGE downpour complete with hail and sleet? Yep, happened today, right here in San Mateo County!

Pretty much every time I'm in San Francisco I get view #2!  Like Seattle, it's one of the most beautiful places in the USA - when the sun is shining!

Debra, the weather here is very changeable, not only day to day, but town to town -- there can be a 30-degree temperature spread in communities about 20 miles apart.

Cara, the fog adds an element of adventure and intrigue to the City, but the gloriously clear days just make one's heart sing! Hopefully your next visit here will be a sunny one.
