Sunshine peeling-away the fog, here just short of noon Wednesday on California’s north coast. This afternoon’s forecast ‘Mostly Sunny‘ by the NWS, and the repetitive natural continues… And what’s not of nature is rising temperatures — eastward just a short space from where I’m located, heat increases. Although we along the shoreline were in the…
Foggy-damp and chilly this near-noon Tuesday on California’s north coast — opposite poles for the interior, as Willow Creek could top 107-degrees today. Hot doesn’t feel the heat… No wonder, the whole-wide-world is heating — last month was the hottest July (and/or month) ever. Via Climate Central this morning The reign of record hot months in…
Deep, moist gray this early Monday on California’s north coast as our daily pattern of marine-fog continues, a situation pretty-much summed-up on WunderBlog‘s weather thingy: ‘Today is forecast to be nearly the same temperature as yesterday.’ And most-likely, all the other environmental-ingredients as well, too. Although damp here, in Lake County this morning, the so-named…
Fog starting to burn-off this mid-morning Friday on California’s north coast. Yesterday afternoon was about as-good-as-it-gets weather-wise around here, and I’m not being flippant, either. No joke, only “SARCASM” seriously folks (HuffPost): “In American history, we’ve never had a major presidential candidate who fabricated facts with the regularity of Donald Trump,” said Douglas Brinkley, a history…
Treat from the skies starting tonight — the annual Perseids meteor shower.

Sunshine this near-noon Thursday on California’s north coast, another day in the normal. Abnormal, however, is seemingly the worst adversary of America is not from without, but within.

Overcast-gray this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — forecast calls for it to be cooler than yesterday, and right now the air feels it. Ground shakers-swarm yesterday down in Lake County — according to the USGS, a 5.1 earthquake near Upper Lake has apparently spawned at least four smaller quakes in its wake. Two…
Sunshine, clear skies and a brisk ocean breeze this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — though a bit windy, still most gorgeous. Reportedly near 70-degrees here, but still cooler inland — Willow Creek only at 85 right now after triple-digits for weeks. In the region of marijuana and legality, there’s no reason for a…
Patchy fog this Monday morning on California’s north coast, yet on occasion, sunshine makes half-hearted attempts to slice through the gray, but mostly haphazard at best — might clear before noon maybe. Unless something weird occurs, we should end up with another pleasant day along the shoreline, and somewhat cooler temperatures inland, opposed to the…
Sunshine this afternoon, tempered with cool ocean breezes. Too much temperature — on Wednesday a crucial environment story, an anthrax outbreak in Siberia (via NPR): ‘Officials don’t know exactly how the outbreak started, but the current hypothesis is almost unbelievable: A heat wave has thawed the frozen soil there and with it, a reindeer carcass…
