Sunshine and a near-cloudless sky this early Monday on California’s north coast, but chilly with frost warnings for the area, and again for tonight, too. Rain indicated for Wednesday, but after that from the looks of the WunderBlog weather thingy, dry conditions until at least the middle of next week. We made the online LA Times…
Nine years ago today was a Tuesday. Late in the afternoon on April 24, 2007, “Compatible Creatures,” clicked into virtual life. Utilizing Wi-Fi at Linnaea’s Cafe in downtown San Luis Obispo, a few miles east of California’s central coastline, and via a then-brand-new Dell laptop, I published my first post, titled, ‘Word,’ about some shenanigans in…
Raining fairly steady this early Friday on California’s north coast as this particular weather episode seems to be carrying more moisture than forecast. Showers on-and-off — sunshine floods the senses every-now-and-then. Pretty-wet so far this year, though. Rainfall totals for March released by the NWS this morning, reveals we made a big splash. My spot way-near…
Warm sunshine soothed by a chilled breeze this near-noon Thursday on California’s north coast, supposedly becoming overcast later today as rain is expected to arrive tonight and linger-around into Friday. The NWS doesn’t use the word ‘rain‘ in its forecast, however, instead opted for the less-wet, ‘Showers,’ to indicate precipitation levels. And today, of course, is…
Sunshine with a nice, warm breeze this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast — another wonder day, with maybe a ‘Slight Chance Rain‘ tomorrow night and into Friday, but not much expected. Weather the day… And of course, today is another ‘4-20’ episode, code for inhaling marijuana — as says Steve Capper, one of the…
A goodly part of California is the Pacific Ocean. Although just hugging our coast, the Pacific carries a shitload of influence all over, spread out vast to the west from where I’m sitting, and is apparently getting smothered. Climate change and the ‘other CO2 problem.’ Oceans absorb about a quarter of the CO2, changing the…
Sunshine and warm this early Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — supposedly the same the next couple of days, maybe rain by Friday. An odd incident earlier, and not very assuring either — my bank (once North Valley, now Tri-Counties) here in Mckinleyville, experienced some type exploding thingy. Apparently, the glitch widespread — via Lost…
Bright sunshine, clear skies and warm temperatures this Monday morning on California’s north coast as we spin through another dry, heated episode. Yesterday was hot (relative, of course). Sunday’s high of 74 broke Eureka’s record of 67 set way-back in 1983 — up here in Mckinleyville, we also notched a 74-high (according to the NWS…
Sunshine here this early Friday afternoon on California’s north coast, a startling-bright tempered by a slightly-chilled ocean breeze — wondrous weather, and supposedly will continue until Tuesday, when the NWS says we might get a ‘Slight Chance Showers.’ Smooth sailing until then — Right! Sarcastic statistics — especially for old folks of my peculiar-particular age group.…
Overcast and sprinkling rain this early Thursday on California’s north coast, a respite from most-likely the strongest storm of the ‘season’ last night. In seemingly classic-weather style yesterday afternoon, heavy, gusty winds forewarned of the coming rain front — then rain pushed by the blowing-crazy air pelted down/sideways/every-which-way through the evening and night. We received…
