Grammar
It is rainy, This is rainy; It is foggy, this is foggy
Hi all
First of all I have to say that I'm not a native speaker so sorry in advance with my possible mistakes.
I had a strong grammar discussion/fight about the right use of this sentences regarding metheorological fenomena.
The situation is: getting out from the metro and wondering about the weather and said "This is foggy"
For my non speaker ears this was really weird and I said: No, this is not foggy "It is foggy"
The person who said that is a Taiwanese who spent 10 years in US. I thought my sentence was more correct and her sentences it's maybe in use but to colloquial technically wrong to use it in that situation.
I wanna know if I'm wrong.
Thanks guys

This is foggy / It is foggy. I see no significant difference in the situation you describe. It is certainly not worth arguing about; no native speaker would give either choice a second thought.

I'm with A Stars. I would say "It's foggy" or "It sure is foggy" or "Wow, it's really foggy."
"This is foggy" would be used if someone suggested some other situation described the word "foggy" and you disagree. You come out and see that it's really foggy out. Then you'd say "Ah - now THIS is foggy!" or something like that.
