Interestingly, it's sunny at my house, located eight miles east of Chico in the Sierra Nevada foothills. From my house the fog looks like a sea of white cotton candy with the snow-capped Coastal Range poking through on the west side of the valley. With this geographical diversity, you will see several different microclimates.
