Not a State of the Union

Overcast this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast, with an occasional glimpse of faded-yellow sunshine every now and then, sometimes a bright glare — supposedly a couple of days of good sun starting tomorrow, shining through Friday. Hopefully, maybe the good-weather could begin this afternoon, or right now… Meanwhile tonight, the T-Rump will blather ‘.…not…

Polls: Unattractive/Unpopular the T-Rump

Overcast with an occasional sputtering-drizzle this mid-morning Monday on California’s north coast, and once again we await another storm slated for this afternoon — sunshine supposedly could be on tap starting tomorrow and lasting a few days. In the era of the T-Rump, way-not much sunlight in all the loathing darkness — except coming from…

Hot/Cold/Wet/Dry Climate Change — Record Rain, Record Heat

Cold with some drizzle this mid-morning Friday on California’s north coast; we await another rain-system to plow through the region starting this afternoon — a bit of sunshine earlier, but now it’s dark and gloomy, narrative-normal for an approaching storm. And cold, too — according to WunderBlog‘s weather thingy (measuring-device supposedly just a block-or-two from…

Sunshine Splash — Umbrella Not Required

Dazzling sunshine and a crisp feel to the air this late-morning Thursday on California’s north coast — gorgeous, and about time. Earlier, I finally had the chance to walk to Safeway and back, a seemingly-necessary daily routine for an old retiree, but curtailed lately with the seemingly-endless rain, and for a little while, at least,…

Climate Change Reality

Hail-rain this Wednesday mid-morning on California’s north coast, and cold, too. The white stuff still clinging on rooftops — our latest storm comes from the north, and carries not near as much water as the ‘atmospheric rivers‘ (sometimes called a ‘Pineapple Express‘) we’ve been experiencing lately, but there’s a definite drop in temperature, sometimes creating…

T-Rump Anxiety-Stress

Apparently, life is turning into a stress-filled boil infected by the T-Rump. A new report by the American Psychological Association paints the election as culprit of our tension. Lead author Archy de Berker (PsychologyToday): ‘“Our experiment allows us to draw conclusions about the effect of uncertainty on stress. It turns out that it’s much worse…

Warming World: ‘The Big Kahuna’ of Climate

Overcast with some light, misty-drizzle this Friday morning on California’s north coast — we await another big rainstorm supposedly starting this afternoon and lasting into tomorrow, or maybe-seemingly forever. Despite the forecast, we won’t get the blunt end of a fairly-powerful ‘atmospheric river‘ drenching SoCal also this morning — ‘“…likely the strongest within the last six…

‘Bathtub’ Reservoirs

Sprinkling-drizzle this mid-morning Thursday on California’s north coast, made wetter by some gusty winds — the NWS weather-thingy recorded gusts up to  41-mph before sunrise. After a somewhat-calm period earlier, seems the winds are kicking back in — a decent sized storm due tomorrow. Once again, California’s top story is still weather related, but a contrary…
