Spring-Up Early

Fog-gray overcast this mid-morning Thursday on California’s north coast, ebbing on through a short-dry period in this way-wet season — next rain forecast for tomorrow afternoon. Supposedly, an early spring this year, but even with a hearty-welcomed arrival of pleasant weather, a heavy caveat. Although officially the season changes in less than three weeks —…

Hot/Cold/Wet/Dry Climate Change — Record Rain, Record Heat

Cold with some drizzle this mid-morning Friday on California’s north coast; we await another rain-system to plow through the region starting this afternoon — a bit of sunshine earlier, but now it’s dark and gloomy, narrative-normal for an approaching storm. And cold, too — according to WunderBlog‘s weather thingy (measuring-device supposedly just a block-or-two from…

Sunshine Splash — Umbrella Not Required

Dazzling sunshine and a crisp feel to the air this late-morning Thursday on California’s north coast — gorgeous, and about time. Earlier, I finally had the chance to walk to Safeway and back, a seemingly-necessary daily routine for an old retiree, but curtailed lately with the seemingly-endless rain, and for a little while, at least,…

Climate Change Reality

Hail-rain this Wednesday mid-morning on California’s north coast, and cold, too. The white stuff still clinging on rooftops — our latest storm comes from the north, and carries not near as much water as the ‘atmospheric rivers‘ (sometimes called a ‘Pineapple Express‘) we’ve been experiencing lately, but there’s a definite drop in temperature, sometimes creating…

Warming World: ‘The Big Kahuna’ of Climate

Overcast with some light, misty-drizzle this Friday morning on California’s north coast — we await another big rainstorm supposedly starting this afternoon and lasting into tomorrow, or maybe-seemingly forever. Despite the forecast, we won’t get the blunt end of a fairly-powerful ‘atmospheric river‘ drenching SoCal also this morning — ‘“…likely the strongest within the last six…

‘Bathtub’ Reservoirs

Sprinkling-drizzle this mid-morning Thursday on California’s north coast, made wetter by some gusty winds — the NWS weather-thingy recorded gusts up to  41-mph before sunrise. After a somewhat-calm period earlier, seems the winds are kicking back in — a decent sized storm due tomorrow. Once again, California’s top story is still weather related, but a contrary…

‘Mechanism’ of Weather — Mankind

Early Monday on California’s north coast finds our little space overshadowed by overcast skies, sprinkled with occasional splashes of faded-yellow sunlight – today the last hurrah for shine as we’re forecast for more rain for at least the next 10 days. However, not starting supposedly until tomorrow afternoon, so to enjoy our weather… Unless, of…
