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…
Quiet in the pre-dawn dark this early Thursday on California’s north coast — ground fog keeps everything muffled in a moist, chilled blanket, and although we’re supposed to be sunny today, it took awhile yesterday for sunshine to cut through the gray. This close to the actual Pacific shoreline creates a weird bump sometimes in…
Overcast with a damp ground fog this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, the weather pattern down to a science. Preliminary rainfall totals for January are out from the NWS, and for my area, we were about 25 percent of normal — I thought we were dry as a bone, but seemingly not, maybe the…
Overcast, fog-moist and quiet this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and appreciate it or not, we’re quickly-churning through February, already a way-short, box-like month. Although expected to be ‘warmer‘ than yesterday, today’s NWS forecast for ‘partly sunny,’ actually means here on the coast, ‘mostly fog,’ and wet-chilly — similar to yesterday afternoon, when warm,…
Near-crystal clear this early Monday on California’s north coast, a faint white streak peeking from the east, the moon hanging slightly above, like a fingernail in its ‘Waning Crescent‘ period, and supposedly, today should be ‘nearly the same‘ as yesterday, and if true, another beautiful one a-coming, weather-wise. And Sunday was a keeper — opened…
Our local-daily newspaper up here on California’s north coast is the Eureka Times-Standard, and one of the worse papers I’ve ever come across — readers know it too, the long-time nickname is the ‘Sub-Standard.’ Odd, too, this morning to see an item from the rag featured on the Google News headline page — first time…
