Overcast and windy this early Monday on California’s north coast, and on occasion, big rain droplets, but no downpour so far. Decent storms forecast for this week, accompanied, of course, by those sharp, gusty winds. Transfer that air surge to the ocean, and a High Surf Advisory, with the NWS warning to be careful rescuing pets:…
Overcast, damp and chilly this Sunday morning on California’s north coast — right now, a ‘chance of rain,’ but decent-heavy-shit tonight and tomorrow, a break maybe Wednesday, so they say. Along with a High Winds Advisory, rain with ‘gusty‘ winds are forecast to persist awhile. As someone originally from tornado country, where ‘gusty‘ would apply,…
Near-cloudless, sunny and warm this Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast — actually maybe hot without that 5 mile-an-hour ocean breeze, the NWS claims it’s 70. Way-nice in the shade, though, and with a windbreak. Another unusual morning — a PG&E outage here in Mckinleyville, and Arcata, with electricity out for my apartment for several…
Amongst the storied, see-saw career of John McCain, his way-most-likely worst moment was hoisting Sarah Palin upon America. In the last nearly-eight years, Palin could be considered the source-epitome of bat-shit crazy in modern life, especially oratory aimed at rational thought. Last weekend, she tried to tap herself into the future presidency of The Donald,…
A deep-wet gray Wednesday morning here on California’s north coast as a semi-normal weather pattern has returned, though, a bit warmer than usual. The NWS calls it ‘dense fog,’ and that pretty-much nails it, as outside earlier was the ‘densest‘ I’ve seen so far this year, at least around where my little homestead (apartment) is…
Bright sunshine and warm air this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast — we’re supposedly in for a warm streak again this week with temps maybe up in the low-70s here at the coast, 20-degrees higher within interior valleys. All considered above normal heat for this time of year — worse down south just a…
Foggy and a bit on the chilly side this Monday morning on California’s north coast — most-likely all will burn off later with sunshine and ocean breezes set for the afternoon. And today, of course, is Labor Day — if you didn’t know that, you are in need of some help — and supposedly a…
Sunshine and warm this Sunday morning along California’s north coast. Weather’s good, but the problem’s the mighty Pacific — according to the NWS, turbulent shoreline waters: ‘Surprising periods of larger sets of waves.’ Speaking of surprises — this morning, Fox News’ Chris Wallace knocked Dick Cheney off the fantasy cat-bird-seat: ‘“So in fairness, didn’t you leave…
Sunshine and a sharp ocean breeze this Saturday afternoon on California’s north coast — whipping into the Labor Day weekend and the unofficial end of summer. A short-burst of a summer, too. Rapid and unpredictable, maybe the words, or in the interest of financial markets, ‘volatile,’ and hopefully these aren’t infamous last words: ‘“As China…
Bright sunshine this early Friday on California’s north coast with like weather forecast for the next few days — no rain as yet in sight. Of course, no post yesterday — the big story around these parts was the AT&T ‘fiber’ episode. First, the asshole comm giant claimed Thursday’s big Internet/phone service breakdown came from…
