Just heard something I’ve never heard before. The term “Tule Fog”. From what I can gather from this Accuweather report from California, Tule Fog (pronounced “Toolee” Fog) is the generic inversion layer type fog that we get here pretty much all winter. There is a beautiful Satellite image of the entirety of Central California covered in this fog.

This will be coming to an end for them in the next day or so. And for us, we will be getting a break from the monotony, we might even see some flurries tonight… nothing much. After that we should hopefully cool off a bit and get some clearer skies. Then there is possibility for small snowfall late in the week.

It’s a lot foggier in “sunny” Parksville and Nanaimo right now with this weather pattern than it is in Port Alberni.

Small consolations…. ;)

Not much change in the patter over the coming week…. Long Long forecast from Accuweather last week mentioned possibility of Storminess as the track starts pointing at us when we get into February. But as it is right now the models have us in quite a dry pattern for the next two weeks after todays rain passes on.
