Here at sea level, we are immersed in a puddle of cold air whose temperature is right at freezing. More, there is a naggingly persistent heavy fog, which is freezing on the roads to black ice. Just plain nasty.
Yet just climb up a little and the sun is out, and it is warm! The high temperatures yesterday in the Olympic range were in the 50's, with one reading of 64°! In fact the puddle of cold air is so shallow that you can take an elevator to get above it!
For the full low-down on this, I'll refer you to our famous local weather blogger, Cliff Mass. He has made several posts about this phenomenon.

It has been the same here in Tacoma. The bay is covered with a low hanging fog that clears off about lunch time. It has made for a rater slow start to the day with a dash toward the sun set. Nice afternoons and plenty of energy to finish up a few chores. It is rather beautiful in the harbor as we can see both above and below the layer of white.
