(Artwork: ‘The Deluge,’ by Bill Russell, and found here). Quickly-darkening skies from the west this Tuesday morning here in California’s Central Valley as we await another deluge in a seemingly endless series of rainstorms to drown out real life on the west coast — creeks overflowing, roads closed, forced evacuations, weather-related horror stories continue. An…
Dark-gray overcast this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — a contrast to a beautiful morning we had with blue skies and way-plenty of sunshine. Although it started deteriorating about noonish, it still for a while was about as good as it gets for this time of year. Now just sooty and depressingly sad.…
(Illustration found here.) Drizzling rain and cold this early-evening Monday here in California’s Central Valley as wet weather continues on into the new year — we set rainfall records on Friday and Saturday for my area and according to our NWS regional office more heavy rainfall is forecast for this week. Up to an inch…
Thus, sing The Beatles — rain plus-more rain this miserable near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley as we’re on the leading edge of another ‘atmospheric river‘ gushing toward us from the coast. In fact, according to weather people, a couple of those environmental phenomena are forecast to be heading our way with a lot…
Slight slivers of blue sky this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley after a day of thick, cruel tule fog, though, a scenario likely to repeat itself for the next few days. Despite the whine, I’m living in a rather nice place compared to a massive chunk of America right now. Weather is becoming…
Another foggy and chilled-air day here in California’s Central Valley, and this Monday evening keeps the shitty-weather ball rolling once again — I’m not too fond of this time of year in these parts. Spring seems so, so far away. Nevertheless, today was a kind of footloose, fun day in the new cycle. Beyond the…
Cold this early-evening Saturday here in California’s Central Valley. Another near-typical seasonal day with our shitty tule fog heavy in the morning and burning off into a nice, sunny afternoon — weather the weather. A major concern is whether we can. Beyond the weather outside, the tempo of America’s social/political environment is channeled through one…
The chilled end of the work week quickly approaches this Friday evening here in California’s Central Valley and the season continues in fashion — a New Year hastily coming quickly around the cold-ass corner! In the shadow of the Elon Musk bullshit on Twitter, the T-Rump might be going beyond his superhero cards and might…
Cold and clear this Thursday evening here in California’s Central Valley — we continue toward even colder times. And colder still, one of my most favorite (respected and ethical) journalists around nowadays, Aaron Rupar, has had this Twitter account suspended by the great ass-slip wormhole, Elon Musk (a husk of a human), and maybe it…
End of another work week is approaching this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley, total darkness comes way too quickly nowadays, and our foggy/overcast coming-winter environment doesn’t improve the situation, either. Weather the weather is the only way, though. As is her self-centered limelight personality, Arizona senator Kyrsten Sinema’s switching the ‘D‘ to an…
