Ben Angwin was at Gualala Point Regional Park when the fog started to roll in. He had a unique view of a fogbow, one over land rather than the ocean.

Ben said his camera could "see" it better than his eyes. I've noticed this too and it's helped me see them with the naked eyes!

Lots of rain has been hitting the Mendonoma Coast. I have 1.65 inches in my gauge since it started late yesterday, which brings my total to 49.55 inches. 50 inches is a "normal" wet winter. We are definitely going to hit 50 inches as it's currently raining and more rain is headed our way...with some thunderclouds. Yikes!

Bill Budge took this photo from his home at the north end of Gualala. There is a rock formation offshore that looks like a castle. Bill found a beautiful Fogbow recently, framing Castle Rock.

Thanks to Bill for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

Lots of fog this morning near the ocean, but it pulled back in most places. It's been in the mid 70's at Rick's and my place in Anchor Bay this afternoon. Beautiful!

Fogbows, sometimes called white Rainbows, can be seen in the mornings if you are lucky. Karen Wilkinson is obviously lucky! She photographed this Fogbow last week.

John Wall once photographed this beautiful fogbow.

Thanks to Karen and John for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

There was some fog this morning but it quickly burned off. Temps this afternoon are in the low 80's, cooler right next to the coast. Lots of visitors here now, and it seems many inns and other rentals were full up for tonight. There is a fireworks display tomorrow night in Point Arena, out over the water. Sunday there is a parade, also in Point Arena.

We had a lot of unsettled weather for a few days, and it continues today with rain showers now and then. On Sunday morning, I looked out and saw this rainbow.

About fifteen minutes later, I saw this beautiful fogbow.

Amazing, but true!

As I write this post this afternoon, the sun is shining brightly on the wet ground.

Normally we have warm weather in October, but this year is different. A massive fog bank has been evident most recent days, sometimes extending up over the ridge. Phil Lewenthal photographed a rare fogbow, also called a white rainbow or mistbow. Phil took this photo and told me the fogbow then disappeared.

Carolyn Andre photographed the fog covering the Pacific Ocean along Highway One. Doesn't it look like whipped cream?

With the fog comes high humidity...and low fire danger, something for which we are grateful.

Thanks to Phil and Carolyn for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

Yep, it's foggy today, temps in the low 60's. I can see that it is sunny this afternoon on the ridge. Micro climates!
