Approaching the evening of one gorgeous Tuesday — weather-wise — here on California’s north coast with clear skies, temperatures in the mid-60s, and forecast for an even warmer tomorrow. Rain penciled-in for Thanksgiving, though, and supposedly another big storm by Friday. Right now, it’s cool. A cheap-gas holiday ahead, however, not cool, for the road…
Clear sunshine and chilly temperatures this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — beautiful weather for the year. Not so beautiful anywhere else, though. Tip-top news story story this morning comes from Ferguson, MO — grand jury returns without an indictment against Darren Wilson, the cop who shot and killed Michael Brown last August. And…
Sunshine Monday here on this little stretch of California’s northern coast — a cold-feeling wind does give bite to the flavor a bit, though. The word, ‘cold,’ is relative, of course. We’re at about 45 degrees right now, and near about the same time — Dr. Jeff Masters: ‘It’s weather whiplash in Buffalo, New York,…
Fairly-clear skies this early Sunday, especially after so much rain falling here-abouts on California’s north coast the last few days — and maybe we’ll catch some rays later. Alas, the weather… In the vast-sweep of climate change, weather seems to be the end result of climate on a daily basis. One must understand the difference/inbred-similarities…
Rain, wind and cold — weather-bound Friday here on California’s north coast. Rain scheduled for all day, and supposedly heavy tonight. Maybe some sun tomorrow… Despite the freezing-ass cold of the upper-eastern US, and the epic New York snowstorms, the world is still getting warm — last month, California had the third-warmest October since record-keeping…
Rain and more rain this early Thursday on California’s north coast, supposedly the same story at least until the end of next week — thick clouds and chilly air, normal weather for here. We’re forecast to get sunshine on Sunday, but that’s a maybe. One aspect of the local area I find disheartening is the…
One giant story given nearly-back-burner status is this steep decline in oil prices. Via Reuters this afternoon: ‘Benchmark Brent crude oil settled down 37 cents at $78.10 a barrel, after rising as much as 98 cents during the session. It has lost $1.31 in the past three sessions. U.S. crude finished down 3 cents at…
Another weird news item already this morning, a bit which should have been in the news-media cycle before now — apparently last week there was this humongous explosion over the Sverdlovsk region of Russia’s Ural Mountains, and so far, no explanation for it. Via BusinessInsider this morning: Scientists and emergency services are hunting for the…
Overcast and dark this early Wednesday on California’s north coast as we wade through another rain front — supposedly good rainfalls the next few days and through the weekend. ‘Tis the season. Also the season for our most-noted local crop — a lot of trim work available nowadays as marijuana buds itself. And another report…
Overcast and chilly this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast with more rain on the way, a chance tonight, but apparently for sure tomorrow and a rainy week ahead. One local forecast read, ‘warmer than yesterday,’ but it sure don’t feel like it. As a thin, old guy, cool for me is cold, and cold…
