Rain this early Monday on California’s north coast, the downpour heavy at times, though, not long-lasting — we could get more than an inch of wetness tonight as this last storm winds itself flat after three or four days. A minor ‘heat wave’ toward the end of the week, with temperatures supposedly up near the…
Overcast with a touch of ground fog this early Friday on California’s north coast — rain expected by this afternoon (or maybe drizzle) and at least some showers on-and-off maybe through the middle of next week. Apparently, today is special — beyond humanity’s metal-grinding influence, a trio of so-called ‘celestial’ events will mark the time;…
Overcast and dark this way-too-early Tuesday on California’s north coast — supposedly, we’re to get sunshine today, but who’s yet to know? A goodly rain due by late Friday, and hopefully some decent weather between now and then. In some parts of California, ‘decent’ weather is considered not-so-hot — runners in yesterday’s LA Marathon sweltered in…
Overcast and chilly this Monday afternoon on California’s north coast, dampening the air with moist, low clouds that appear thick as shit. Sunshine scheduled for tomorrow and Wednesday, rain expected again toward the end of the week. Dry changes in a routine that’s as fluid as a brick. In retirement now close to seven months,…
Rain-drizzle and gray this afternoon on California’s north coast, but a bright gleam was found this week for our environment — normally bad news, but at least for once, some good. Yesterday, via The Verge: ‘For the last 40 years, whenever the world economy grew, so did the Earth’s carbon dioxide levels — until 2014, The…
Overcast with scattered drizzle this Saturday here on California’s north coast — some weak, pale sunshine occasionally does temper the air, so it ain’t all bad. Rain coming this afternoon, supposedly pretty heavy by morning and on into Sunday. Short-lived, though, as the system is expected to be gone before Tuesday. A sort of news…
Fogbound again this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, seemingly signaling another example of premature spring/early-summer weather routine for our shoreline — fog doesn’t usually hang like this until later in the season. Heat does carry an influence. Ostensibly, I do a lot of posts on climate change, mainly because there’s always something new, and…
Damp, dense fog this Monday afternoon — seeming the last few days have been imbedded within a gray, gloomy blanket-like, life-portrait painted with faded light, mixed in cold air. Weather-wise, too, our home and hearth heating warmer. Last week, the NWS revealed this has been Humboldt County’s warmest winter in its recorded history. So likewise and…
Thick fog this early Sunday here on California’s north coast, especially cold and damp near the ground, and although the NWS calls it ‘patchy fog,’ there’s not much patch in all that gloomy gray. Into the smoky-silver fog comes time travel. If I went back exactly 24 hours from this moment, what time would have…
Clear and cold once again this early Thursday on California’s north coast — another day in the life. Supposed to be about the same through the weekend, though, apparently the rain expected has edged closer, forecast-wise, set now for maybe on Wednesday. And a rarity this morning, the NWS didn’t post any watches, warnings or…
