Yesterday morning my wish for fog came true but it only makes me want it even more. Today is
statistically the “foggiest day” of the year, but I don’t see any fog. My phone weather app says there should be light fog but I sure as hell don’t see any! Seriously, where is the fog!?
This page talks about how Cape Disappointment, in the extreme southwestern corner of Washington at the mouth of the Columbia River is one of the foggiest places in the United States with roughly 2,552 hours of fog a year. But here? The amount of fog is insufficient right now!
Maybe I’ll get what I wanted and find out that for the next eight months Seattle will be shrouded in a dense low-lying stratus and everyone will be like, “you should have been careful of what you wished for, Sofi,” but I’d be like, “I’m not complaining!”
As much as I love stunning views of Mount Rainier on a clear day in the Puget Sound (although the other day we were shrouded in mist—a fairly common occurrence, actually—but this time it was thin enough for Mount Rainier to be visible and it never looked more majestic and ominous), I want the “gloom” to happen already! I want to be decked out in flannel and sweaters and hoodies and trenchcoats and peacoats, feeling like I’m in a moody future-noir film.
I get it—it’s über-beautiful here in the summer when it’s so dry that the grass begins to turn yellow. But I moved here knowing it’s supposed to rain almost every single day and I want that, dammit! #cuddleweather
