More Americans Toking Up
September 1, 2016Deep-wet gray again this early Thursday on California’s north coast as fog regains the top notch along the shoreline — maybe a bit of sunshine later, but not right now. Although the NWS forecasts ‘Mostly Sunny‘…
Unseasonable ‘Sparks’ Memory Fire
August 31, 2016Scattered-sunshine/scattered-overcast this near-noon Wednesday on California’s north coast, counting-down the hours til the end of summer. And for this particular stretch, I’d call it, a ‘summer of fog,’ or at least, ‘one-half-to-three-quarters summer of fog,’…

Waterline Drought
August 22, 2016Fog this early Monday on California’s north coast — Duh! Our summer weather pattern continues, but supposedly should be a bit cooler. Preliminary rainfall totals for last month from the NWS shows my little area was…
