High overcast and a bit on the chilly side this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — heavy rain expected later today, on Thursday, too, and maybe, just maybe, some sunshine on Friday. Last week, the forecast called for a full-sunshine day on Tuesday, now the fickle winds of weather has pushed it back to…
Rain again this early Monday on California’s north coast, feels like it’s raining all over the world. Nearly two months of this wet stuff for most of the time, and the accompanying, gray-gothic clouds, real-gloomy-like if continuous. Yet we need all the rain we can handle, and then some. High-point yesterday, the first day of…
Sunshine splashed with clouds this Monday afternoon on California’s north coast — only rain so far was early this morning, but more is expected before this particular front calls it quits. One of the big news items as of right now has been going on for nearly six months — the insane drop in oil…
Drizzling rain and thickly-overcast this early Sunday, the last day of November, here on California’s north coast — we’re feeling the trailing remnants of a big storm now sweeping southward. So big the weather-front, counties south of the Bay Area opened ‘sandbag stations,’ in case of flooding off the storm — so ‘uncommon lately,’ TV…
Way-wet and chilly this early Friday on California’s north coast, but nothing unexpected as we’re on the first-strike, forefront of a big storm set to roll across the state the next couple of days. Our region could get three to four inches of rain, further south, maybe up to seven inches between now and Sunday/Monday…
Becoming a dull overcast Wednesday afternoon here on California’s north coast — rain maybe tomorrow, and some heavy wet by Friday, and continuing on through the weekend. And as we plunge forward into the total-crazed period known as ‘the holidays,’ a segment of days where Americans pretend all kinds of shit — like being happy,…
Approaching the evening of one gorgeous Tuesday — weather-wise — here on California’s north coast with clear skies, temperatures in the mid-60s, and forecast for an even warmer tomorrow. Rain penciled-in for Thanksgiving, though, and supposedly another big storm by Friday. Right now, it’s cool. A cheap-gas holiday ahead, however, not cool, for the road…
One giant story given nearly-back-burner status is this steep decline in oil prices. Via Reuters this afternoon: ‘Benchmark Brent crude oil settled down 37 cents at $78.10 a barrel, after rising as much as 98 cents during the session. It has lost $1.31 in the past three sessions. U.S. crude finished down 3 cents at…
Bright and breezy this late afternoon as the day is slowly falling-darkly away. Those gosh-awful midterms last week should have been called the ‘apathetic election’ as it had the worst turnout in 72 years — just 36.3 percent of eligible voters went to the polls. Up here in Humboldt County we followed suit — just…
A thick-drizzle and approaching dark-thirty here on California’s north coast — although we had a gracious fireball sunrise, shortly thereafter, a chunky overcast descended, and then mist, now onto a heavy drizzle. Although most-likely, maybe, the US (and the Democratic party) will get a grip on the upheaval that will be/ and is already resonating…
