Drizzling rain this noon Tuesday on California’s north coast as our now-normal ‘conveyor-belt’ storm fronts keeps the dull gray overcast drenched across the landscape. Winds are expected to get rowdy later on, the NWS issued a Wind Advisory this morning, calling for gusts at more than 50 mph sometime this evening, and of course, more…
Rain and darkly overcast this early Monday, the real-start to 2016, and here on California’s north coast, we also commence another in our now-normal, on-going series of ‘conveyor-belt’ weather fronts. According to the NWS, at least two storms this week, the first started yesterday afternoon, and supposedly after a slight pause late tomorrow, another due…
Deeply-overcast and drizzling this noon Sunday on California’s north coast, as the whole region prepares for another roller-coaster weather ride. Big storm due in this afternoon and evening, first in a series supposedly packing way-more rain than snow, though, the mountain-tops already look good for the season (via The Weather Channel): ‘According to winter weather…
Once again bright sunshine and cold temperatures here on California’s north coast as another new year arrives, whether we like it or not, and it sure don’t feel like a Friday. And it sure-as-shit don’t feel like another ‘whole‘ year has gone bye-bye — my post from last Jan. 1 (seemingly a swift dash in…
Clear, bright sunshine and not-so-cold temperatures this Wednesday afternoon on California’s north coast, enveloped in a nice stretch of outside-conditions this week — no rain forecast until Sunday. The NWS is ‘expecting quiet weather‘ to ring in the New Year. Then back to our rain-storm-business-as-usual weather, just badder (via NBC News): ‘But a Dec. 27…
Bright sunshine with a whole-lot of cold this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast as it appears we’ll be rain-free for a few days, with no wet stuff expected until next Sunday. You’d think after nearly three weeks of near-continuous rain there’d be more (via KPBS): ‘As of Tuesday morning, the average Sierra snowpack was…
Overcast with occasional sprinkles this early Sunday on California’s north coast, with more rain expected to spatter-through later today. Last week,the NWS released preliminary rainfall totals for November — a bit better than last year (5.30-inches vs 5.11 in 2014), but well under the average for a ‘normal‘ month (6.73-inches). Not much in the way of…
Occasional heavy rains mixed in with near-continuous drizzle this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, as the holiday storms force-feed their way through the region. Strong thunder with a bit of lightning, too, last night — dramatic, reminded me of my origins, Alabama, the Deep South, where they’re also experiencing some gnarly weather. This the…
(Illustration: ‘California Redwoods3,’ by Will Borden, found here). In this neck of ground — the north coast of California — we’re whimsically-considered as secluded behind “The Redwood Curtain,” coined in reality of the ginormous trees making up that cloak fencing us off from the big, old and much-ugly world. The redwoods do make a fortress,…
Overcast with an occasional heavy-downpour this early Monday afternoon on California’s north coast — we’ve been drenched the last three days, and apparently we’re going to remain drenched into the whole-coming week. According to the NWS weather-conditions thingy, my little drowned-spot/area received more than a good-inch of rain since midnight, and from all indications, the…
