Overcast with some thick-gray, angry-looking clouds this early Monday on California’s north coast and we’ve got some chilled temperatures, too, also in the mix. Supposedly, this should be the weather picture for the next couple of days — no heavy rain until Thursday, and again, supposedly. Although pretty quiet for the West Coast over the…
Some faded sunshine this mid-morning Friday on California’s north coast — the big rain forecast for last night and today is tardy, or there’s not much off it for us. The NWS is labeling our upcoming precipitation as ‘showers‘ in forecasts, but you know, there’s actual ‘rain‘ in there someplace, as we’re expected to receive…
Mostly-overcast on California’s north coast this early Thursday, though, on occasion a sharp-crack of bright sunshine floods the senses, drops a surreal shot of color, then disappears way-too quickly back into gray-gloom. Just the rainy season… And supposedly a good one, especially along the shoreline here, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor‘s weekly update, there’s…
(Illustration found here). New research published last week from the University of Michigan indicates a noticeable shift to weed as the best medicine. As more states legalize cannabis consumption, many more people will likely use medical marijuana as a supplement to or substitution for prescription drugs, says a University of Michigan researcher. A new study…
Sunshine this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast, for a little while anyway, as the bright is buffered by decent cloud cover. Supposedly, a short break today with another ass-kicker rainstorm due tomorrow evening and into Friday — next nice, clear-weather day forecast maybe for Sunday. Nowadays, weather chit-chat ain’t idle. In a case of…
Overcast and gray this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast as real-rain has given way to misty drizzle and sparse sprinkles — the big storm supposedly for today was quiet for us along the shoreline. Forecasters call for a slight-period of semi-dry until Thursday. In another type respite, yesterday I put $20 worth of gas…
Overcast and getting darker this Monday afternoon on California’s north coast as we wait for another big rainstorm due anytime now — and reportedly some strong winds, too, to blow the wet all over everything. This whole week is scheduled for storm-after-storm, at least until Friday, but according to the NWS, no straight downpour: ‘There…
Drizzling rain right now this Sunday afternoon on California’s north coast as apparently the bulk of our latest storm has moved eastward, and maybe down to sprinkles for us by early evening. According to the NWS, two-inches of rain already just this morning, coupled to a drizzle near-continuous, and after a short break, another heavy…
Sunshine on occasion this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, a bright-spot in between sprinkles and outright-rain. Another storm is due in on Friday, and according to the NWS, maybe the next sustained sunshine on Sunday. Beyond the new-normal, extreme-weather weirdness, another freaky-deeky concern is ‘normal‘ earth movements — last night we experienced a 4.3…
Cold, drizzling rain this near-noon Wednesday on California’s north coast and we’re expecting maybe some thundershowers later on toward evening. According to the NWS, we should catch a small break tonight and into early Thursday, but another round of wet weather due by the weekend — and then rinse, and repeat.
