(Illustration: Children escorted away from Sandy Hook Elementary School, Dec. 14, 2012, found here). A lot of coverage today on the anniversary of the Newtown, Connecticut, “shooting” — now a near-normal word for any type public firearms exhibition-event, whether it be a mall, a barbershop, Navy base, or, school. Two weeks ago, Connecticut’s AG issued…
Clear and chilly-cold this early Friday on California’s north coast as we power-up for the weekend. Right now, we’re at 45 degrees and on the road to a balmy 60 by Sunday — the ice age has passed, for now. And in the contradictory weirdness of climate change, odd is normal (via Climate Central): The…
Clear and cold again this Thursday morning up here on California’s north coast, with the weather hopefully, slowly moving out of the news spotlight. We’re at 37 degrees right now on our way to a high of 53, and some rain forecast for tonight — but who knows. Beyond the chatter on the Congressional budget bargain-basement…
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,”…
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…
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,…
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…
Clear and really-cold this early Wednesday here on California’s north coast with the air getting colder the closer to dawn. Away from the ocean and into the interior, temperatures could drop into the single digits, but even with us on the beach, it’s going to be a record-setting cold snap. However, since I leave for work…
Clear and more than chilly this Tuesday morning up here on California’s north coast, and it seems we’re in for some cold — the high today is expected to be less than 50 degrees, and we’re in for a hard-freeze watch for the middle of the week. After some most-gorgeous days lately, the ugly winter…
