Sunshine and warmth this Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast — fog burned off earlier, but without much wind, and now it’s calm, so the heat’s up. Yet what’s down as we spin a start into the fabled fourth of July weekend is gas-pump prices: ‘“Gas prices are about 60 cents below those of this…
Clear sunshine and windy this Wednesday afternoon on California’s north coast as we mosey on through a heat-wave scorching across the state. Although we’re forecast for the low-70s today, the sea breeze keeps the temperatures down into a slight chilled effect — not so in the interior with triple-digit numbers searing eastern mountain valleys. Extreme…
An overcast, gray-damp Tuesday morning on California’s north coast, the shoreline fog just won’t go away — cool and moist here, but scorching-dry starting just a short distance inland. We’re forecast to be ‘much warmer‘ than yesterday, but that wouldn’t take much, while-on-the-meanwhile, the middle of northern part of the state is wildly-crazy — Chico…
Overcast with occasional faded sunlight this afternoon, and feels a bit more chilly, too, than lately — the coastal fog bank seems to have hugged-tighter today, makes a huge difference. Also maybe a big difference tomorrow, and again, maybe not — Tuesday evening we’ll all receive an extra ‘leap second,’ due to a minor time desynchronization…
A drizzle-feel in the air this Monday morning on California’s north coast, a moist marine layer that appears fairly thick coats the shoreline — from appearances earlier, a light bit of rain maybe fell during the night. Although the NWS forecast ‘this week is going to be very hot with high temperatures across interior Northwest California…
Overcast-gray this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast as we encounter another day in the life — supposedly either ‘mostly sunny,’ or ‘partly cloudy,’ depending upon which jaundiced eye is on the sky, and the time of day. Although we ‘down’ here won’t get the visual, but this from the NOAA this morning: ‘The geomagnetic storm that…
Clear, bright and windy this Friday afternoon on California’s north coast — the breeze a bit on the chilly side, seeping off the deep-gray fog bank hanging low about a block away from my apartment, looking like its ready to roll over us. Summer season here with its daily routine of fog, wind and sunshine,…
Light overcast this early Thursday on California’s north coast, maybe hinting of real sunshine quickly coming as heat burns off the fog allowing a brighter air — instead of the gloomy-gothic gray. In context of pessimism, Pope Francis was set for pontificating on climate change this morning, but tragically the encyclical event was overshadowed by…
Dark-thirty Monday here on California’s north coast — most likely fog again, but yesterday there was sunshine at ‘sun‘ up, now less than 30 minutes away, so maybe a decent chance for brightness this morning instead of a dull gray. The NWS says supposedly we could get some ‘drizzle‘ until about noon, but doubt it…
Overcast once again this early Thursday here along California’s north coast, in a quiet, predawn dark — looks about the same as yesterday, fog-filled until it’s burnt away, sometimes not before late afternoon, and sometimes not at all. Summer along the shoreline… Due to my own sleep troubles/problems, I’m always on the lookout for shit…
