The name has so far stuck, spawning regional merchandise and the response to a Jeopardy! clue.<\/p>\n<p>Like San Francisco, the complex mixture of geography and weather circumstances that bring coastal marine fog mean Eureka\u2019s summer months are often quite gray.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this fog brings moisture to ecosystems nearby \u2014 something particularly important for coast redwoods \u2014 and a nice crusty sailor vibe to Old Town. It also comes with challenges, like avoiding crashing your car or feelings of despondency.<\/p>\n<p>If you had to assign a name to the fog that blankets Eureka, what would you call it?<\/p>\n<p>??\u00a0%\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n          The Veil\n          <\/p>\n<p>??\u00a0%\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n          Earl\n          <\/p>\n<p>??\u00a0%\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n          Depression\n          <\/p>\n<p>??\u00a0%\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n          The Shroud&#13;<\/p>\n<p>??\u00a0%\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n          Humboldt Fog, just like the cheese!\n          <\/p>\n<p>??\u00a0%\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n          Something from Soulatluk, the language of the Wiyot people.
