Clear, brilliant-bright sunshine this early Thursday on California’s north coast — a nice, semi-surprise, some decent sun was originally projected by maybe on Tuesday, but later forecasts with more rain said Friday, but here it is, today. My back patio faces east, the sky blue with high, wispy clouds, and all well-above the apartment’s dumpsters.…
High overcast and a bit on the chilly side this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — heavy rain expected later today, on Thursday, too, and maybe, just maybe, some sunshine on Friday. Last week, the forecast called for a full-sunshine day on Tuesday, now the fickle winds of weather has pushed it back to…
Overcast with hanging ground fog this afternoon on California’s north coast, and chilly, too — local temperatures reportedly hovering in the mid-50s, but the air feels moist and cold. Totals for November rainfall from the NWS, and my little area down from the monthly average (76 percent of normal), but a way-shitload more than last year…
Ground fog this way-early Tuesday here on California’s north coast — flashback yesterday afternoon and right now with the appearance of the thick mist low-to-the-road. Usually a summer, spring thing. The NWS is calling it ‘patchy fog’ this morning, a seeming truism, on smoke breaks on the back patio, a star or two can be…
Rain again this early Monday on California’s north coast, feels like it’s raining all over the world. Nearly two months of this wet stuff for most of the time, and the accompanying, gray-gothic clouds, real-gloomy-like if continuous. Yet we need all the rain we can handle, and then some. High-point yesterday, the first day of…
Rain again this Saturday morning on California’s north coast, with that sunshine scheduled for next Tuesday, already pushed back to Thursday, and today’s rainfall supposedly heavy at times, totals maybe an inch. Beyond the fractured ways of weather, narrative of the Sony hacking whatnot has developed some serious scenarios — this morning an odd bounce,…
Rain and gloomy-dark outside this early Friday on a small patch huddled near California’s north coast — getting close to a month now, of rain and gloomy-dark — more rain forecast for days to come, maybe some decent sun on Tuesday of next week. After a near-continuous drenching for awhile now — since July, San Francisco’s…
In the vast scope of weather, location is key. Last week, my youngest daughter, Melissa, moved for-some-reason from here in Humboldt County, California, to Kansas City, Missouri, and the shift in the environment is way-notable. She took the above photo yesterday via her phone-camera-thingy and e-mailed it to let me in on winter’s wonder —…
Fuzzy, high clouds this early Thursday on California’s north coast, a star can be seen every-little-bit, and the moon, now a misty-white fingernail, creeps low in the eastern sky. We’re forecast for some ‘heavy rain‘ in the afternoon, pretty-much through tomorrow morning — another rainstorm-front moving across the state, seemingly now a gray, repetitive cycle,…
Raining with thick cloud bundles huddling close — quick snapshot off my back patio this early Wednesday on a small stretch of California’s north coast. Just a little while after sunrise, one cup coffee sipped-away, working now on a yerba mate tea — included also in the morning routine, a small bowl. And speaking of…
