High overcast and some low ground fog this way-early Friday up here on California’s north coast, and the air is fairly warm for the time. The weather has been about the same the last few days, although the sun did break through the cover late yesterday afternoon, the climate has been back to near-normal after some Hawaii-like temperatures for awhile. Also we might be in the national news today due Read More ...
Raining this particular Sunday morning and warm — the last few days have been exceptional, temperatures most-amiable and it might be that summer’s coming quicker than expected. Up here on California’s north coast, however, weather is of the moment, and we have days in January like days in July, which makes any kind of long-range forecasting near-futile. Today is also considered by another name, but we won’t get into that Read More ...
Wondering a bit this evening, reading about another astro-podic close encounter of earth with a chunk of space rock, the one this afternoon ‘…big as a city block…’ glided past about 600,000 miles up — as Reuters explained: That’s about 2-1/2 times as far as the moon, fairly close on a cosmic yardstick. A space rock or fossil fuel? (Illustration found here). Earth seemingly is in the cross-hairs — at Read More ...
Middle of the week — ya-hoo! Unless it’s that Yahoo, and then it’s get thee to the office you lazy home workers! Clear and cold this morning — the moon slightly less-than-round — and the whole sky along California’s north coast has a full dose of white light outlying life in this land of the not-so-fast lane. After this Friday, the dark way up there could get even darker, much to our Read More ...
(Illustration found here). Clear and cold this early Wednesday morning on California’s north coast and although we experienced hail, snow flurries and rain yesterday morning, the sun came out later on and life was nice. Supposedly in the midst of a big winter storm right now, here along the Pacific rim weather can be strange to say the least — we can get a day in January just like a Read More ...
Drizzling rain this Wednesday morning along California’s northern coast with more rain expected later today and maybe even into tomorrow. The weather’s not too bad up here, and has a kind of sameness about it just about year round — a June day can be found in January and vice versa. Not way-so for the rest of the country. We’re one of the coolest spots around! In the heat below Read More ...
A bit of thin, high overcast this early Thursday morning on California’s northern coast, allowing the near-half moon to glimmer through the clouds — and it’s cold, too. In this particular set-up, I haven’t seen any of the Quadrantid meteor shower which is supposed to be burning through earth’s upper layers this morning, creating a flare-show of about 100 meteors an hour, but off my back patio and high overhead Read More ...
Another wet early-morn here on California’s northern coast and it appears it’s storming all over the US — back east, seven people have been killed, including two little children, as big winter-generated weather chaos churns through the region. And this is only the start to the cold season. In the overpowering ring of ugly in the news cycle lately — mass killings, dumb-ass gun-control bullshit, deadly weather and the crazed Read More ...
Overcast with a drizzly fog this morning along California’s northern coast with rain expected some time later today. Winter here is wet, and can get cold, but considering other parts of the country, way-mild. And considering climate, the worse is yet to come — according to New Scientist, weather forecasts for the way-near-future are looking even grimmer. Underestimating shit has always appeared to be a terrible human fallacy. (Illustration found Read More ...
Using the old phrase most-easily this morning, ‘the sun came up like thunder,’ a clear and quick-explosion of light greeted the day here on California’s north coast — in the wake of last week’s way-wet storm surge, came also the first inklings of winter. Cold, clear and crisp, but without the rain. This area just a couple of miles from the Pacific is in a much-varied little sector weather-wise — Read More ...
