Overcast with occasional drizzle this late-afternoon Monday on California’s north coast — decent-sized rainstorm due tonight, but apparently just rain on/off until the end of the week, then according to the NWS, a drier period for awhile. Weather it all… Also in ‘undergoing or enduring the action of the elements‘ spawned by the T-Rump, waiting…
Dark, gloomy overcast this early Thursday on California’s north coast. This rain will seemingly never end… Just one day away and like the weather, also darkly through the looking-glass — via The Hill yesterday: President-elect Donald Trump said in an interview published Wednesday that he doesn’t like to lie. “I don’t like to lie, no,” the…
Red sky to the east this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, portending the heavy rain storms coming the next few days. Always on the look-out for heartening health-related items, especially relating to coffee/caffeine intake, and now there’s new research indicating java aids in living longer. The study’s lead author, David Furman, consulting associate professor…
Slivers of sunshine this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, but mostly gray-overcast. Marijuana’s sense of old-people history — although in a more lax environment then a generation ago, teen drug/alcohol use is down at a level not seen in decades. Now a new study shows boomers becoming stoners. The bottom-side up — from the Washington…
Overcast this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast, with rain expected at any minute — supposedly rain until Saturday, at least, and some forecast to be fairly-decent in downfall. And cold-as-shit this morning, too. However, we on the shoreline are under an NWS ‘Frost Advisory,’ vs a few miles inland, and a ‘Freeze Warning.’ A degree-or-two…
Gray-matter again still this near-noon Thursday on California’s north coast — the marine layer feels more-chilly, though, a quick peek of sunshine much earlier might have caused a sense of colder temperatures. Now it’s deep in the bowels of fog-city… Good news from a study on an eventual-horrible situation with global warming: ‘“Our research indicates that…
Rock and roll this Thursday afternoon — first time in awhile, an earthquake nearby. And not a little blip on the screen either — according to the USGS, a 4.8 shaker just southeast of Eureka, occurring at 4:09. So far, no aftershocks or any additional movement. Earthquakes are frighting — I was sitting on the…
Foggy-moist this near-noon Friday on California’s north coast, another episode in the life-files of late. Supposedly, after today clear skies, sunshine and probably no rainbows, too — educated estimate anybody’s guess. Uneducated, though, and with a nasty, deliberate grace is the presidential campaign of The Donald — last week, a Burlingame High School junior voiced the…
Overcast and growing darker by the minute this Wednesday afternoon on California’s north coast — beautiful sunrise, followed by some gorgeous sunshine for awhile, then a rapid cloud gathering as another storm is slated for later in the evening. In a rain-respite is what we are — according to the NWS, ‘Heavy Rain‘ forecast from…
As COP21, the UN climate conference in Paris, was wrapped this weekend, and seemingly the accord worked-out is on-its-face a noteworthy consensus, but maybe 20 years or so too late. Good/best analysis on the final agreement can be found at Climate Code Red, and Saturday’s CarbonBrief, among others, and an interesting overview of the deal…
