Clear skies and chilly this early-evening Monday on California’s north coast, and a return of electrical power just a couple of hours ago, a short respite until another “PSPS Piss-Piss” scheduled for tomorrow morning — we only have time to recharge our gadgets and await the blackout, reportedly set maybe for about 4ish, or even…
Clear and a bit chilly this early-evening Friday here on California’s north coast — another nice day in preparation for tomorrow’s electrical shut-down. And according to the latest, maybe the outage could last up to four days. A big factor in these incidents of wildfires and power outages is climate change, an even bigger threat…
Near-windless, bright and warm this Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast, and despite the beautiful day, another ride on the edge of darkness supposedly this weekend punctures any kind of happy balloon. We’re going into an idiotic electrical outage once again on Saturday — this afternoon from Lost Coast Outpost via the Humboldt County Sheriff’s…
Clear and bright coupled with a chilly ocean breeze this Wednesday afternoon here on California’s north coast, though, warm in the sunshine. A morning dog walk at Ma-le’l Dunes was border-line hot, even with some surreal sunlight in misty fog for awhile, which burned-off real quickly, and not much wind. Heavy fog earlier had made…
Sunny with a chilly breeze this Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast. Supposedly sunshine tomorrow, more rain on the weekend. Good news via BuzzFeed this afternoon: Millions of people across California will now receive alerts on their phones seconds before the ground begins to shake during an earthquake, a major milestone in a years-long endeavor…
Rainy and gray this early-evening Tuesday here on California’s north coast — more like a drizzle, but will get you soaking wet in minutes. Tomorrow rain forecast again with sunshine maybe on Thursday. Also tomorrow, the T-Rump’s EPA is expected to revoke California’s ability to maintain lower vehicle emission standards — lower than the federal…
Sunshine this late-afternoon Monday here on California’s north coast — been a fine Labor Day, with a chilly component found in the shade. Fog this morning beach-side on a dog walk at Ma-le’l Dunes; the gray burned-off a bit on occasion to let some sunshine glow, creating some warmth, but overhead mostly all misty-ash. Our…
An overcast and gray early-evening Tuesday here on California’s north coast, supposedly ‘Mostly Sunny,‘ or ‘Partly Cloudy‘ the next 10 days, probably-likely a mixture of both. Chilly right now… First post in 11 days — my old, overheating HP laptop finally fried-out on me, and I’m now working on a brand-new Acer Chromebook, ordered via…
Sunshine, wind and blue skies this Wednesday late-afternoon here on California’s North Coast. We’re apparently in our warmth of summer (seaside definition of ‘warmth‘) with tomorrow’s temps maybe in the mid-70s. A dog walk/run in the AM at the Ma-le’l Dunes was gorgeous — short-sleeve/T-shirt time, which for me says a lot, and doesn’t happen…
Windy, sunshine-filled late afternoon Tuesday here on California’s North Coast — good weather off good climate. Speaking of which, this exchange during a Humboldt County Board of Supervisors meeting last February on a just-released North Coast climate assessment: Third District Supervisor Mike Wilson suggested that Humboldt County could be where “climate refugees” seek refuge. “We…
