Raining fairly-heavy this way-early Tuesday on California’s north coast — chilly, too, as we experience spring splashing out all over the place. We received more than half-an-inch of rain already, according to the local weather people, and more is expected the rest of the week. Although, supposedly tomorrow should be dry — yeah, right. Today…
Overcast with a chilly wind this early Monday on California’s north coast — a winter-like weather system is bearing down on us with forecasts of pretty-heavy thunderstorms today and tomorrow. Sometimes spring doesn’t sprout all the way. And today, the infamous IPCC report on climate change is made public — way-bad news, but even worse…
Overcast and wet this way-early Friday on California’s north coast as we swing furiously into the weekend. No actual rain right now, but we’re supposedly in the midst of a series of storm systems. And for today, a warm washing as this storm is one of those atmospheric river entities, floating up from Hawaii —…
Overcast and foggy with a chill in the air this early Sunday on California’s north coast — but if predictions are near-about correct, and we follow the course of the past week or so, sunshine and clear skies are in the immediate future. In an increasingly contrarian world, though, who in his-right-mind can predict shit?…
Rain and a bit of wind this early morning, but knock all the weather aside, the big event happened a few hours ago — a 6.9 earthquake about 70 miles from me. Seventy miles ain’t nothing when the earth moves. Along with the 6.9, there have been at least 19 aftershocks — the giant at…
Gray skies covered by thick-looking clouds this early Saturday on California’s north coast — no indication, though, of the end results. In exactly 24 hours from exactly now, I’ll be an hour ahead of myself, so who really knows? Yesterday, Joe Romm at Climate Progress posted the horrific e-mail of the week — from one…
Overcast, drizzly and warm this mid-week Wednesday, and here on California’s north coast we feeling like spring. Yesterday was pure sunshine and heat — March came in as a soft, sweet putty-cat. And today, earth will get another space visitor as Asteroid 2014 DX110 will make a real-close fly-by — about 216,000 miles away —…
Beyond weather and the Olympics last week, a lot of shit went nearly unnoticed, one such was the highly-under-reported news story of yet another episode from the continuing horror tale taking place at Japan’s Fukushima nuclear plant: About 100 tons of highly radioactive water leaked from one of the hundreds of storage tanks at the devastated…
High overcast and a bit on the cold side this way-too-early Thursday on California’s north coast, with not much rain in sight for the next few days. The weekend is forecast for sunny and warm — Ha! to winter. However, the weather is after all, the weather and nobody knows the future. Especially, the guys/gals…
Raining and warm again this early Friday (finally!) on California’s north coast as we continue on into winter’s tropical grip. Ha! And this day is supposedly special, made for sad, love-struck nit-twits like one Joel Barish: “Random thoughts for Valentine’s Day, 2004. Today is a holiday invented by greeting card companies. To make people feel…
