It was as high as 50-60% of the mornings in the fall when the article was
written, and I'd think that it was similar now from what I've been seeing.
That could drop to 20% or less in January, recover a fair bit in February and
March, and in the summer was close to zero.
Remember that I'm in western Canada, about 100 km from the open Pacific, though
the Asiatic paths to here actually have to cross the spine of Vancouver Island,
more like 300km. However, this is a considerably more coastal location than
yours, and that may have some influence on my observations.
Hope this helps.
