Did You Know The Golden Gate Bridge Can Act Like A Giant Bay Area Thermometer?

KPIX 5 Morning Weather Anchor Roberta Gonzales answers the questions you never get to ask on-air.

It's Friday, so I thought I would call this blog, a "Fun Friday Factoid!"

Q: Is it true that the Golden Gate Bridge can act as a thermometer?

A: The span can move up or down by as much as 16 feet depending on the weather.

Cold air and hot air dramatically affects the iconic structure. Watch this video and I guarantee you will find yourself thinking about this interesting factoid, the next time you drive over one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World!
