Cold and clear this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast as we wheedle our way through this work week — we’re just under freezing right now, but hope to make at least a 50-degree high later today. Just weathering the weather before winter. We had a power outage yesterday afternoon, so I wasn’t able to…
Clear and cold this way-too-early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and if the forecasts prove correct, we should be getting warmer weather this week. Outside right now, it’s a balmy 35 degrees! However, for a big chunk of the US, it’s still freezing-ass-cold: “I don’t think things are going to warm up any time soon,”…
Cold and clear this afternoon on California’s north coast — warm in the sun, but cold-as-shit in the shade. Among the continuing-contentious news cycle this PM, was this study on bad-news coverage: More exposure to coverage seems to be connected to more stress. The study authors suggested that doctors, government officials and the media be aware…
Despite all my crying and gnashing of teeth last night, it’s Monday morning! Again! And again, cold and clear on California’s north coast with today finally, the deep-cold of the past week might start to end — we’re at about 26 degrees right now on the way to a forecast high of 50, and tonight…
One great wonder of nature is a clear, clean and cold sunrise — here this Sunday on California’s north coast light approached in a ever-expanding wave of bluish-white. And did I say, cold? Record low temperatures all over the area last night and this morning, and bringing all the assorted frigid conditions these percolating icebox-like…
Cold still this Saturday morning on California’s north coast, but there’s much sunshine, and, much observed roof ice. This is the ice, though, that pisses: A former Goldman Sachs trader was sentenced on Friday to nine months in prison for wire fraud by a judge who took sharp aim at both Goldman and the government,…
Gray, cold and wet this Friday afternoon on California’s north coast — the weather guy calls it a “light rain mist,” and although that’s true in actual respects, a 43-degree temperature and a chilled wind makes it seem much heavier, cold-heavier. And on occasion, the rain becomes not a mist anymore, real rain, pattering heavily…
Clear and cold this early Friday on California’s north coast with icy rain due sometime later today in a frigid start-up to the weekend. Cold here, cold everywhere, especially across Texas and most of the US Midwest — Dallas Home Depot Manager James McGilberry: “It’s almost like a Black Friday, but I guess we’ll call…
Cold and bright again this afternoon on California’s north coast, and freezing in the shade. Record lows around these parts last night/this morning. One elderly guy, who’s lived here since the early 1960s, told me his backyard just after sun-up was the coldest he “ever” seen it — covers a shitload of calendar days. How…
Clear and really, really cold this early Thursday on California’s north coast, and yesterday we had some record low temperatures, but still not as chilly as other parts of the Western US. For instance, Texas had one drastic weather swing: Wednesday’s official high in Dallas was 80. Thursday night brings freezing rain, sleet and a…
