Rain clouds hang thick and heavy in early light this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast, a respite in a nice-sized storm pushing through southward. And apparently nearing its end for us, but did bring some good rain and snow up in the mountains. Yes indeed, we need all the rain we can get, but…
Overcast with a bit of chilled drizzle this early Monday on California’s north coast as we await a decent-sized rain storm to come our way, probably crossing near the shoreline at this precise moment — maybe. The NWS expects ‘heavy rain‘ for today and tonight, culminating possibly with 1.5-inches of rain or more during that…
Clear skies and chilled temperatures this early Thursday on California’s north coast, and another day in the life. In this particular case and in this particular life, seemingly I’ve picked up some bad shit from somebody/somewhere this week, and awoke this morning feeling like the before-mentioned shit — ‘come down‘ with a touch of a…
Clear and windy this afternoon on California’s north coast, another ruffled, pretty day here along the shoreline. Not-so attractive, though, is the outlook on a way-precious commodity, water. Our statewide drought not only continues unabated, but seems to have worsened, putting California’s water supply in a bad place. The newest snowpack survey reported water content…
Overcast-gloomy with lingering rain showers this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, which according to the NWS, will start to feel a drizzle-down this morning, with smooth, sunshine-sailing the rest of the week. So far into this new year, the weather up here has been pretty delightful — some days warm and clear. Wind makes…
Overcast and damp this early Friday on California’s north coast with a chance of some ‘drizzle‘ this morning, maybe even some ‘showers‘ this afternoon, but no real ‘rain‘ forecast until Monday. Predicting nature, though, even with way-nerd-like technology, is dicey at best. Especially with nature freaking out about the heat. Most-particularly, naturally frozen water reacts…
Overcast and dark this way-too-early Tuesday on California’s north coast — supposedly, we’re to get sunshine today, but who’s yet to know? A goodly rain due by late Friday, and hopefully some decent weather between now and then. In some parts of California, ‘decent’ weather is considered not-so-hot — runners in yesterday’s LA Marathon sweltered in…
Rain-drizzle and gray this afternoon on California’s north coast, but a bright gleam was found this week for our environment — normally bad news, but at least for once, some good. Yesterday, via The Verge: ‘For the last 40 years, whenever the world economy grew, so did the Earth’s carbon dioxide levels — until 2014, The…
Clear and cold this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, sunshine and just a few degrees above freezing — we’re under a Frost Advisory again, too. Tilting through a little dry spell right now it seems, and from the NWS anyway, the immediate-future forecast looks rainless until at least the end of next week. And…
Bright with a stiff chilly wind this afternoon on California’s north coast — another day in the retired life. The ongoing science-reality, horror-saga of Japan’s Fukushima nuclear power plant continues, now approaching the fourth anniversary of its infamous earthquake/tsunami meltdown. And the situation still sucks, bad. (Illustration found here). Via Newsweek this afternoon: The operator…
