Marine Layer and Moths

Low marine layer for much of the day. The base around town did not seem to rise above 1000 feet that I noticed, and perhaps not even that high. Highs in the mid to upper 50s. The marine layer was merely the lowest part of clouds and I think it was overcast above, as well. … Read more
