High clouds and a bit chilly again this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast, the final day of the year and the last we’ll see of them days. A whole-lot of shit will continue, though, and it’s all ugly. And Snoopy from Peanuts lays down the reality: “So this is the last day of the…
Clear, sunshine-filled skies this Sunday morning on California’s north coast — but no rain in sight for the rest of this year, and not much predicted for 2014, either. Walking-the-dog environment: “Increased heating from global warming may not cause droughts but it is expected that when droughts occur they are likely to set in quicker…
Crystal-clear and cold this Thursday morning here on California’s north coast — did the same thing yesterday, but deep-coverage fog right before sunrise warmed things up a bit. Despite the tranquil weather sense here on the Left Coast, winter storms are still pillaging some parts of the US, especially in New England where 24,000 people…
Clear sunshine and warm this afternoon, though, not as nice as yesterday, but of course, yesterday’s gone — the sun is right now slipping down upon the Pacific up here along California’s north coast and shadows linger. We’re in the mid-50s range at present and apparently tipped 60 degrees sometime this afternoon. Warm after the…
Monday again and there ain’t much I can do about it — chilly and a bit overcast this morning on California’s north coast with a near-full moon (Waxing Gibbous, 99 percent illuminated) hanging majestically out over the Pacific Ocean. Weather is returning to about normal for these parts, but some US residents are still feeling…
Clear and not-so-cold this afternoon on California’s north coast — some high cloud haze dulls the sunshine every-now-and-then, but still nice outside. Far, far away, winter weather harshly walloped Jerusalem and a big chunk of the Middle East: “We are battling a storm of rare ferocity,” Mayor Nir Barkat said as snow in the Holy…
One great wonder of nature is a clear, clean and cold sunrise — here this Sunday on California’s north coast light approached in a ever-expanding wave of bluish-white. And did I say, cold? Record low temperatures all over the area last night and this morning, and bringing all the assorted frigid conditions these percolating icebox-like…
Gray, cold and wet this Friday afternoon on California’s north coast — the weather guy calls it a “light rain mist,” and although that’s true in actual respects, a 43-degree temperature and a chilled wind makes it seem much heavier, cold-heavier. And on occasion, the rain becomes not a mist anymore, real rain, pattering heavily…
Cold and bright again this afternoon on California’s north coast, and freezing in the shade. Record lows around these parts last night/this morning. One elderly guy, who’s lived here since the early 1960s, told me his backyard just after sun-up was the coldest he “ever” seen it — covers a shitload of calendar days. How…
Cold and clear this hard-to-handle Monday — having some InterWebs problems for some reason this morning, but we’re trying again. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous this past few days up here on California’s north coast, with more of the same forecast for this week. Not so for a big chunk of the US —…
