Scattered sunshine this early Monday on California’s north coast, with semi-clear skies, chilly temperatures, and changing weather. Supposedly, our first big rain coming late Wednesday and Thursday, ‘heavy at times,’ and subsequent storms keeping us wet until the middle of next week. We could get maybe two-plus-inches of rain off the first one, indicating a…
Thick-clouds with on-and-off drizzle this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, though, the wet is supposed to drip off to nothing by this afternoon. Reportedly, not much chance of rain until early next week — nowadays weather is a wait-n-see thingy. Afterthought on the VP debate last night — another clown show, however the same.…
Light-scattering rain under gray-overcast this early Monday on California’s north coast, near-toward-the-end of a storm system that cranked on us late Friday, and on into the weekend. According to the NWS, my little spot — not far from the Arcata/Eureka Airport — received just a bit more than a half-inch of rain the last couple…
Overcast, damp and gray this near-noon Thursday on California’s north coast, awaiting the weekend and some rain. The NWS issued a ‘Hazardous Weather Outlook‘ this morning, which warns not just for the amount of precipitation (light-to-moderate), but also the season’s first real-rain fall — making ‘…the roads very slick.’ In the not-so-glib category, coupled with…
Thick, damp fog this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, ending a two-day run of sunshine in the morning — supposedly, sun later, but deep-misty til then. Maybe rain by the weekend, but more a wait and see. Last night, however, we didn’t have to wait long to see Donald Trump get whipped-clean by Hillary…
Bright sunshine this early Monday on California’s north coast, and in the air, seemingly another warm day a-coming again today. Heat and the fall season. A fall, too, maybe, with the debate tonight at Hofstra University in New York between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump — T-Rump to those he sickens — and the consequences…
Overcast and gray again this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, though, there was some sun near day-break, but way-gone now. Rainfall last month appeared near-normal, according to the NWS, which wasn’t much, but winter is quickly approaching as the service also released freeze/frost dates for the fall. This year is blazing by… Also going in…
Thick fog this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, maybe the most-dense in awhile. Meanwhile, the plot continues — from Climate Central yesterday: ‘In what has become a common refrain this year, last month ranked as the hottest August on record, according to NASA data released Monday. Not only that, but the month tied July as…
Reflective glimpse back 15 years ago, and sort of unknowingly encapsulates our current state of affairs: “The president was in a great mood. He had that George W. Bush strut that morning.” –Andy Card, chief of staff Also an indicative response to Sept. 11, 2001, was the widely-spoofed, idiot-influenced Homeland Security Advisory System coming online…
Today 15 years ago was a Monday. Unemployed at the time and living in San Luis Obispo, down on California’s Central Coast — left the local newspaper in a downsizing/single-option dispute-episode three months earlier — and was still without a job (I re-joined that same newspaper three months later) and so usually drove my oldest…
