In an age of re-occurring extreme weather, odd natural phenomenon and other assorted nefarious events, strange this situation has gone nearly un-reported by the MSM: The growing sinkhole is 1,200 feet south of La. 70 South between Grand Bayou and Bayou Corne. Current estimates have the sinkhole, believed to have been caused by a failed…
Drizzling rain this Wednesday morning along California’s northern coast with more rain expected later today and maybe even into tomorrow. The weather’s not too bad up here, and has a kind of sameness about it just about year round — a June day can be found in January and vice versa. Not way-so for the…
A bit of thin, high overcast this early Thursday morning on California’s northern coast, allowing the near-half moon to glimmer through the clouds — and it’s cold, too. In this particular set-up, I haven’t seen any of the Quadrantid meteor shower which is supposed to be burning through earth’s upper layers this morning, creating a…
Clear and cold this first early morning of a new year here on California’s northern coast, the clear, bright moon hanging up in the eastern sky with just a bit chewed off one side. It’s not all that real-cold, a few degrees above freezing, but the air will sharpened fairly quick the more inland —…
Crystal clear and covered in bright sunshine this early Sunday morning along California’s northern coast and on this extreme-last Sunday of 2012, the future beckons with skeletal fingers.

Another wet early-morn here on California’s northern coast and it appears it’s storming all over the US — back east, seven people have been killed, including two little children, as big winter-generated weather chaos churns through the region. And this is only the start to the cold season. In the overpowering ring of ugly in…
Wind is really howling this morning along California’s northern coast, but no rain yet as we’re forecast as 100 percent today. Right now the air feels dry, the noise level high. Meanwhile, the US Midwest is getting thrashed: People traveling early for Christmas in the center of the country will be dashing through the snow…
Overcast and a drizzle-like rain this morning along California’s northern coast, which should temper any kind of look at the annual Geminid meteor shower set to sparkle down on us in the early hours. Although the weather’s been way-clear every morning this week, now the skies are clouded just when there’s something to see —…
Overcast with a drizzly fog this morning along California’s northern coast with rain expected some time later today. Winter here is wet, and can get cold, but considering other parts of the country, way-mild. And considering climate, the worse is yet to come — according to New Scientist, weather forecasts for the way-near-future are looking…
(Illustration: Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Monday). My youngest daughter moved to Minneapolis in the fall of 2011 and that following winter was an easy snap — not much snow and not much severe weather. However, now is now. She took the above photo on her phone of a street scene near her apartment — the region…
