How foggy was it in St. John's today?

It was this foggy. Seriously. 

This is a screen capture from the CBC Newfoundland and Labrador webcam, which is pointed at the Narrows and the downtown area. I grabbed this image around 9:30, I think ... when things are that foggy, you lose track of time. 

For comparison's sake, here's what Saturday looked like: 

Saturday was, indeed, a gorgeous day. 

And trust me, the camera today was aimed at all the same buildings and features. 

Incidentally, up around the Parkway, where our offices at CBC are, the fog was not nearly as pea-soup thick by that point in the morning. More misty than anything else. Nonetheless, my great friend and colleague Cecil Haire took to calling the fog "brutal" this morning as he signed on around 6 a.m., taking in the great fog monster surrounding him. 

They don't call us Fog City for nothing!
