Metro Vancouverites woke up to a thick fog blanketing the region early Wednesday (Dec. 14) morning.
While the sun started to peek out after 9 a.m., there was near-zero visibility at street level during the early morning hours, resulting in poor driving conditions.
When conditions worsen due to fog -- or any kind of inclement weather -- Environment Canada urges drivers to slow down and exercise caution.
Locals have taken to social media to share images of the spooky scene in the region, such as a haunting perspective of vehicles appearing to vanish as they passed into the fog on the Granville Street Bridge.
