25 photos of Vancouver shrouded in eerie fog

Throughout the second day of 2016, much of the Metro Vancouver region was hidden beneath a dense layer of fog.

A fog advisory was issued by Environment Canada this morning due to the near-zero visibility conditions, which were mixed in with slippery surfaces due to the cold temperatures. It was as cold as -7°C at 7 a.m. this morning, reaching no higher than 3°C.

But as usual, the foggy conditions made for some eerie yet beautiful photos. Here are some of today’s best Vancouver fog photos on Instagram that use the hashtag #VancityBuzz:

It was definitely a ‘holy wow’ sunset. I knew this because I saw people abandon their cars in the middle of the street, leaving doors flung open, to run and snap photos. A photo posted by Anna (@annainvan) on Jan 2, 2016 at 5:12pm PST

Happy 2016! Wishing everyone a wonderful New Year. I’m typically not the person to make a New Year’s resolution but I thought this year, I should make more of an effort to share my photos (rather than squirrelling them away on my computer). To start, here’s one from the archives of Vancouver shrouded in fog; perfect for today’s weather. A photo posted by vince chow (@vincechow) on Jan 2, 2016 at 10:05am PST
