Bright and windy this afternoon on California’s north coast, sunshine filtered by some high, thin clouds — nice and comfy with a wind break, otherwise, a sharp, chilled breeze will briskly-batter the brains. Based upon the supposition, of course, you have brains, and if you don’t… who’s got sense enough to tell? Even with just…
Hazy sunshine this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, but from all appearances so far this morning, we might have a full day of clear, or ‘mostly‘ clear skies, and if like previous days, a good wind is due up this afternoon, carrying some sharp, chilled gusts. The NWS calls for ‘mostly sunny‘ the rest…
Fracturing the ground again this early evening — a little threesome-swarm of earthquakes. . One of those was a 4.3 on the Richter scale, though, measured to be buried 6.2 miles down and about 170 miles south, southwest of where I’m sitting watching Netflix, I didn’t feel shit. Then 25 minutes later, a 3.1, centered…
Clear and sunshine this afternoon on a small stretch of California’s north coast, a breezy wind keeps the clouds away. Last week, Gov. Jerry Brown set forth a self-proclaimed “very high bar” on climate change with some new statewide targets for emission reduction — in line with those adopted by the European Union last year, which…
Overcast still going on into the late afternoon here on California’s north coast, with some added patchy ground fog, only sunshine so far a hazy, faded-yellow glare shifting the gray every so often — a damp, shoreline chill, too, added to the mix. One item I haven’t been keeping up with in the last weeks…
Overcast, gray and gloomy this early Sunday on California’s north coast — supposedly, sunshine maybe before mid-day, but if yesterday’s any kind of an example as we received only a little peek-a-boo sun late in the afternoon, we can expect these Gothic conditions to remain awhile. So staying on the dark side of shit, more…
Fog-bound and chilly this early Saturday on California’s north coast, now in the depths of the weekend. As posted here before, I’ve come to prefer week days since retirement — Saturday and Sunday seems to now only attract hooligans, and nefarious layabouts. And speaking of the coast, and more directly, underwater 300 miles west of…
Thin, hazy sunshine this early Friday, the first day of May and 2015 keeps whistling on down the tracks. And rain’s gone, too. We’re not showing anything but fog, clouds and sun (in that order, usually) the next week to 10 days — the Bay Area experienced ‘easily the lowest on record‘ rainfall totals for…
Hazy sunshine this afternoon along California’s north coast with fog apparently just waiting to cover the sky — nice with a cool, brisk breeze right now, but the light is fading on us. Odd how the darker it gets here in mid-afternoon, that some natural instinct in the brain (maybe just my brain) thinks also…
As speaking this morning how I constantly check the USGS earthquake map — about an hour ago, a 5.5 shaker, about 180 miles west of where I’m sitting on my ass, but didn’t feel a thing. And this latest wasn’t that deep, according to its USGS summary, only a bit more than six miles down. Earthquakes…
