Sunshine Splash — Umbrella Not Required

Dazzling sunshine and a crisp feel to the air this late-morning Thursday on California’s north coast — gorgeous, and about time. Earlier, I finally had the chance to walk to Safeway and back, a seemingly-necessary daily routine for an old retiree, but curtailed lately with the seemingly-endless rain, and for a little while, at least,…

California’s ‘Land-Falling Hurricanes’

Dark-overcast and rainy this mid-morning Tuesday on California’s north coast, as we brace for the next wave of storms due today, tonight, and apparently feels like will last forever. According to the NWS this morning, along with some heavy rain today, the region is also under a Thunderstorm Watch: ‘Any thunderstorms that do develop will be…

Warming World: ‘The Big Kahuna’ of Climate

Overcast with some light, misty-drizzle this Friday morning on California’s north coast — we await another big rainstorm supposedly starting this afternoon and lasting into tomorrow, or maybe-seemingly forever. Despite the forecast, we won’t get the blunt end of a fairly-powerful ‘atmospheric river‘ drenching SoCal also this morning — ‘“…likely the strongest within the last six…

‘Bathtub’ Reservoirs

Sprinkling-drizzle this mid-morning Thursday on California’s north coast, made wetter by some gusty winds — the NWS weather-thingy recorded gusts up to  41-mph before sunrise. After a somewhat-calm period earlier, seems the winds are kicking back in — a decent sized storm due tomorrow. Once again, California’s top story is still weather related, but a contrary…

‘Steering’ by ‘Mother Nature’ — Rain!

Rain fairly-heavy at times this early Friday on California’s north coast, though, sunshine is predicted for tomorrow. Hurrah! Yet to be short-lived — just sunny Saturday and Sunday, rain coming back in earnest by Tuesday. And as for Monday? Apparently, up for grabs weather-wise. A heavy-rain season this year, one we were supposed to get…

Rain Ruse

Misty-drizzle this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast, the tail-end of one storm, blended with the creeping-arrival of another. Supposedly, another wet front will be cruising onto the shoreline up here this evening and tonight, with rain forecast at least through the weekend. Earlier, I thought maybe it was dry enough to quickly-walk to Safeway…

Got Them Old ‘Groundhog’ Blues Again…

Rain and more rain this Friday morning on California’s north coast, and from all indications, this scenario will persist through the end of next week. Winds were gusting pretty-good during the night, but have way-calmed since daybreak, and it’s warm, which is a plus factor. Although we really do need the water, this rainy season…
