What we really need is a good satelite shot of the Bay Area showing fog.
I used to get VERY accurate predictions on picking Crissy, Powerlines,
'stick/Oyster, Coyote/Turd Ave or Dumbarton/Palo Alto from those
satelite photos. Didn't need the pager either.

I used to have a good URL to get this, but it no longer works....8-(

Any suggestions for a new url?
