Sunrise arriving with a light-white haze in the east this Friday, and most-likely another bright, mostly-windy episode here on California’s north coast. Although neither the NWS or WunderBlog forecast any gusty-wind, yesterday was strong on bluster — some gusts rattled the vents. Speaking (or writing, as in this case) of venting, came across this story…
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…
Near-crystal clear this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, the bright-white moon, now just a sliver of a fingernail, hangs mid-way up in the brightening eastern sky. And cold, too, earlier just a few degrees above freezing — supposedly sunshine through next week, maybe a high of 70 tomorrow. Today, though, is heart-stopping Tax Day.…
Overcast with a bit of chilled drizzle this early Monday on California’s north coast as we await a decent-sized rain storm to come our way, probably crossing near the shoreline at this precise moment — maybe. The NWS expects ‘heavy rain‘ for today and tonight, culminating possibly with 1.5-inches of rain or more during that…
Another morning here on California’s north coast — in this instance, a Friday. A hazy-white glow peaks light from the east, filtered by high, wispy clouds, and so far a weather-facsimile from yesterday. Warm the word just about all day Thursday, so maybe we’ll get some of the same today — all way-good. And further…
Bright afternoon sun with a chilled wind here on California’s north coast — nice if you’ve got some type break from that sharp, Alaska-tinted breeze. Tax season in the wind, too, as we’re almost into March. Working stiffs (or retired working stiffs) are catching the blunt of the taxman-cometh-jigsaw-game of gilded bullshit. And Americans are…
Dark-gray with sometimes heavy rain this afternoon on California’s north coast — into the great wetness. An item I spotted earlier of a mega-rare, anywhere-near humorous story coming out of the nightmare war zone of the Middle East was this at International Business Times from Tuesday: An Egyptian man has reportedly delivered a financial blow to…
Way-windy with some light rain this early Thursday on California’s north coast, a hazy hint of light building in the east — waiting for a supposed whopper of a rainstorm, maybe allowing for up to two inches of rain across the area. According to the NWS right now, the forecast every day through Saturday is…
Once again clear and cold this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — in the mid 30s right now, and as expected, we’re supposed to be ‘nearly the same‘ weather-wise as yesterday. Yet change is the norm nowadays, anything-wise. Tonight, the original, ‘Mr. Change,’ President Obama, postulates the State of the Union speech just in…
A clear and cold early Monday here on California’s north coast, a few wispy clouds scattered about a whitening sky, otherwise, appears plenty of shine a-coming. Supposedly, rain free until at least next week. In the gritty news cycle this morning, amongst war, politics and the Super Bowl match-up, one stand-out is indeed a pisser,…
