Clear-bright sunshine this Thursday morning on California’s north coast as we smooth through a way-nice weather spell — supposedly (and looks it!), we’re to get some way-warm temperatures today along with maybe some gentle breezes. Might be sort of ‘hot‘ this afternoon…in the realm of relatively speaking. Maybe parallel, too, or worse (via the BBC):…
Sunshine and bright objects this early Wednesday on California’s north coast as thin, high clouds appear to be floating away, at least according to the observation from my back patio. Another ascertainment off the horrid entertainment last night, and current state of the union: ‘“I don’t think you can say that we don’t get it…
Sometimes bright, glaring sunshine this early Tuesday on California’s north coast as we skip merrily through a pre-spring ‘heat wave‘ this week, clear skies soaking up rays in the forecast — wet weather gone awhile. Supposedly, temperatures near 70 by Thursday/Friday. According to the NWS, there’s a high pressure forming up and hence the warmer…
Rain slashed by some gusty wind this early Sunday afternoon on California’s north coast as we cruise through another storm front, this one pertinent through tomorrow afternoon. A tiny break, then supposedly, another short storm with hopefully clear skies/sunshine by Wednesday. According to the NWS‘ weather thingy, winds are gusting near-about right-now at more than…
Five years later and the bad-beat goes on — via Newsweek yesterday: ‘The robots sent in to find highly radioactive fuel at Fukushima’s nuclear reactors have “died”…authorities still don’t how to dispose of highly radioactive water stored in an ever mounting number of tanks around the site.’ And ‘“…no specific clear solution”‘ nowhere in sight. (Illustration found…
Light drizzling rain this early Wednesday on California’s north coast as we hunker down for more ‘conveyor-belt’ action. According to the NWS this morning, three to six inches of rain could drench us heavily on-and-off until Saturday, creating flash flooding, especially with low-lying byways — poetic warning from our weather-service people: ‘It can be impossible…
Overcast awaiting some supposed-heavy rains this early Friday on California’s north coast — meanwhile, more than just idle chit-chat about the weather. From Slate yesterday: ‘As of Thursday morning, it appears that average temperatures across the Northern Hemisphere have breached the 2 degrees Celsius above “normal” mark for the first time in recorded history, and likely…
Damp-fog of a marine layer this Monday afternoon, as bright, clear sunshine much earlier has been replaced by deep-gray, amplified in muffled tones. Beyond ‘Fat Tony’ dying and the ensuing GOP cluster-crazy over President Obama’s constitutional rights, was a truth-chime from The Donald among the chaos of last Saturday night’s Republican debate: “Obviously, the war…
Overcast with an occasional flare of bright sunshine this Friday morning on California’s north coast, a little on the chilly side, but if current conditions persist for awhile, we’ll be nice and warm by noonish. A 50-percent chance rain later today and tonight, supposedly not much, though. Big storm with some decent moisture forecast for…
Buried beneath continuous news awash with death, destruction, and The Donald, events in the oil industry are low-key, but financially catastrophic on many levels. Good nutshell-analysis at OilPrice.com: This downward spiral will lead to further credit downgrades and bankruptcies within the oil patch.
