Dawn’s rain this early Friday on California’s north coast — the heavy stuff arriving earlier with a good downpour after midnight. Dark and wet and gloomy as we quickly finish-off February’s rapid exposure, and attempt to become primed-and-ready for beware-middle-of-the-month March, which makes an entrance on Sunday. A week later, we’ll make sure shit goes…
Rain spatters on the back patio this afternoon on California’s north coast, but only a little bit at a time, way less than a drizzle, and really not much more than a damp wind. Supposedly, the real stuff is forecast to arrive later tonight, or early in the morning — less than a tenth-of-an-inch predicted.…
Clear and cold again this early Thursday on California’s north coast, working our way toward some rain supposedly coming this evening, or there-abouts, but supposedly pretty certain by tomorrow morning — the NWS doesn’t call it ‘rain,’ but ‘showers,’ which translates here close to the shoreline as, ‘drizzle.’ Yet if walking around, you’ll get soaked,…
Bright with a stiff chilly wind this afternoon on California’s north coast — another day in the retired life. The ongoing science-reality, horror-saga of Japan’s Fukushima nuclear power plant continues, now approaching the fourth anniversary of its infamous earthquake/tsunami meltdown. And the situation still sucks, bad. (Illustration found here). Via Newsweek this afternoon: The operator…
Overcast this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and the NWS claims right now we’re just a few degrees above freezing — before sun up, clear and cold, which morphed into the current cloudy and cold. Early riser I am, but that’s a sleep habit, nothing to do with the actual outside temperature — idiot!…
Light brimming from the east this early Tuesday on California’s north coast as another cold and clear day continues the streak, at least supposedly until tomorrow maybe, or by Thursday when rain is scheduled — from the looks of the forecast, though, more like a drizzle expected. Dude, saw this last night — a new…
Bright afternoon sun with a chilled wind here on California’s north coast — nice if you’ve got some type break from that sharp, Alaska-tinted breeze. Tax season in the wind, too, as we’re almost into March. Working stiffs (or retired working stiffs) are catching the blunt of the taxman-cometh-jigsaw-game of gilded bullshit. And Americans are…
Clear sunrise and cold air this early Monday on California’s north coast, we’re just a few degrees above freezing, and the morning feels it. Forecast is for rain by Thursday, or earlier, and wet on-and-off for the following few days — whether or not depends on the weather. In that insane vein, we do a…
Clear with a wisp of ground fog this early Friday on California’s north coast — and a cold chill accompanying a brightening sky to the east. We’re set supposedly for ‘mostly sunny’ through the end of next week before any chance of rain — yesterday afternoon blossomed into another warm, amicable episode in a mostly-dry,…
Glaringly-bright and warm this mid-afternoon on California’s north coast — according to the NWS, we’re supposed to be about 54 degrees right now, but it sure feels a bit more fervent. Dude, bright as the sunshine, we might need some groceries, as neatest-interesting news item I’d seen today was this report from NPR on why marijuana…
