Overcast, gray and gloomy this early Sunday on California’s north coast — supposedly, sunshine maybe before mid-day, but if yesterday’s any kind of an example as we received only a little peek-a-boo sun late in the afternoon, we can expect these Gothic conditions to remain awhile. So staying on the dark side of shit, more…
Thin, hazy sunshine this early Friday, the first day of May and 2015 keeps whistling on down the tracks. And rain’s gone, too. We’re not showing anything but fog, clouds and sun (in that order, usually) the next week to 10 days — the Bay Area experienced ‘easily the lowest on record‘ rainfall totals for…
Overcast, gray and a bit on the chilly side this afternoon on California’s north coast. Sunshine aplenty this morning, all gone now. News item I spied earlier today, another one of those unpredictable side-effects of a warming planet — the Arctic’s permafrost melt — and another warning on methane release. Although not a ‘new‘ environmental…
A bit of sunshine this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, with some nice breaks in the lately-accustomed fog/cloud routine. Just returned from a walking trip to Safeway, and maybe the bright is here for awhile. Mankind is apparently composed of horribly-ironic idiots. Just yesterday, coinciding with Earth Day, a load of internationally-known brainiacs issued…
Overcast this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, once again the combo fog/cloud routine until probably later in the morning or until afternoon — supposedly considered as ‘windy‘ today, we’ve usually the wind, but rarely designated as such by the NWS. And wind also usually brings sunshine, which is good. Today is also the 45th…
Thick ground fog again this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, a routine now as per about-normal for spring and early-approach to summer. Seasons are quick nowadays it seems, hard to believe we’re closing in on the end of April — 2015, where art thou gone? Across the vast Pacific, time quickens, too. And possibly…
Thick ground fog this early Monday on California’s north coast, and the start of another work week, but not really for us asshole-retirees, since we’re already cruising in a thick ground fog. Not necessarily metaphorical weather-speak, either. Yet in reality, maybe more of a drift, less of a cruise. And maybe, too, more of bewilderment…
Clear and chilly this early Thursday on California’s north coast — a light, moist vapor apparently seems to be thinly to the east, making an otherwise explosive sunrise a bit on the muted side, hazy and undefined. According to the weather folks, no rain on the horizon until the middle of next week, and pretty…
After a most-excellent soaking during the night, the rain has ceased and most of the clouds have fluttered eastward, as the early light this Tuesday comes to California’s north coast — hopefully, ‘mostly sunny’ for the rest of the day. I’ve some errands to run this morning, via two feet, and maybe the clouds will…
Hazy sunshine this afternoon, and windy, too, here on California’s north coast — there’s also a bit nip in the breeze. And off our shores, a changing-warming environment has also led to the arrival of marine life seeking cooler waters — most recent discovery, the Janthina janthina, the common purple snail. Apparently part of an…
