In the midst of an age of awful anxiety, here’s more to the weight — from the Guardian this morning: The heat in the world’s oceans reached a new record level in 2019, showing “irrefutable and accelerating” heating of the planet. The world’s oceans are the clearest measure of the climate emergency because they absorb…
Sunshine and a bit warm this late-afternoon of the second day of 2020 here in California’s San Joaquin Valley, a brightness after some pretty-thick morning low-clouds/fog which chilled the shit out of everything. Weather in the age of climate change. And far to the west, Australia is frying and burning from a climate ripped by…
Clear and cold this late-afternoon Friday here on California’s north coast — best to enjoy the sunshine as rain is forecast for Saturday, and will supposedly continue until maybe Monday evening. Along with the wet, high winds expected for at least tomorrow. Just a couple of sunny days next week, then more rain called-for starting…
Rain and gusty winds this already-dark, early-evening Tuesday here on California’s north coast — nearly right on predicted time this afternoon, the storm’s leading edge arrived in the neighborhood. First blustery winds, quickly followed by increasingly thick, pelting rain. Lately and so far, the storm is erupting in episodes with an eerie, nearly-surreal quiet in…
Sharp sunshine slivered by a stinging, cold wind this late-afternoon Monday here on California’s north coast. A mid-day dog walk at Little River State Beach was nicely inspiring, though, the wind really picked-up toward the end. Big, noteworthy storm coming tomorrow and Wednesday with winter-type temperatures rest of the week — via the NWS: This…
Foggy-dark-already this early-evening Monday here on California’s north coast, closing time to another dark day which did carry occasional sparks of sunlight through low-hanging clouds, briefly shinning, then returning to dismal. Supposedly wet the next few hours — according to the NWS, there’s about an 80-percent chance of rain tonight, drawing-down to maybe 30-percent tomorrow.…
Sunshine and a brisk-cool breeze this late-afternoon Tuesday here on California’s north coast. Dog run about mid-day at Little River State Park was gorgeous, with just a wisp of a misty-fog hanging about north and south. People on the beach were shimmering forms coming and going, until just about right upon us. Reportedly, clear skies…
Clear skies and chilly this early-evening Monday on California’s north coast, and a return of electrical power just a couple of hours ago, a short respite until another “PSPS Piss-Piss” scheduled for tomorrow morning — we only have time to recharge our gadgets and await the blackout, reportedly set maybe for about 4ish, or even…
Clear and a bit chilly this early-evening Friday here on California’s north coast — another nice day in preparation for tomorrow’s electrical shut-down. And according to the latest, maybe the outage could last up to four days. A big factor in these incidents of wildfires and power outages is climate change, an even bigger threat…
Near-windless, bright and warm this Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast, and despite the beautiful day, another ride on the edge of darkness supposedly this weekend punctures any kind of happy balloon. We’re going into an idiotic electrical outage once again on Saturday — this afternoon from Lost Coast Outpost via the Humboldt County Sheriff’s…
