There’s a fog warning for Montreal on the weather page. Here in Villeray it’s gray and soggy, but there’s no fog. On a quick sampling of the city traffic cams, I see fog at the far ends of the island, but not much elsewhere, at nearly 11 am.

I’m guessing “no.” Wouldn’t want people to think it’s the current pope who died (given that these protocols were established long before electronic media). That said, there hasn’t been a death of a retired pope in six centuries.
