Cold in San Francisco


Mark Twain is famously quoted as having said, "the coldest winter I ever spent, was a summer in San Francisco.  Amusing and based in reality, at least to some extent.  Summers often bring the fog, which can make it pretty cold.  Even more strangely, though, it can be cold and foggy in the sunset neighborhoods, but warm and sunny on the bay side of the city, with the fog trapped west of the hills.

It's winter now, but the temps are usually not very cold here.  Today was downright chilly, however.  Heike and I took the ferry to SF to pick up some veggies at the Farmers Market.  We always enjoy the ferry ride, but today's voyage was like an antarctic crossing from Patagonia.  (Ok, it's not that bad, just below normal.)  One can get spoiled by the weather here.
