Drizzling rain and chilly this Monday morning on California’s north coast as we near the end of our latest block of ‘conveyor-belt’ rainstorms — supposedly, clear skies with lots of sunshine starting tomorrow and lasting a few days. According to the NWS, a high pressure moving slowly, and sulking about the shoreline will keep the…
Last week brought a cluster of environmental news, and this popped yesterday, and doesn’t bode well in the culminating future.

Five years later and the bad-beat goes on — via Newsweek yesterday: ‘The robots sent in to find highly radioactive fuel at Fukushima’s nuclear reactors have “died”…authorities still don’t how to dispose of highly radioactive water stored in an ever mounting number of tanks around the site.’ And ‘“…no specific clear solution”‘ nowhere in sight.

Chilly drizzle gaining momentum this Friday morning on California’s north coast. Supposedly, a goodly-rain storm about to sweep in from the south, and the outside looks very much like it.

Light drizzling rain this early Wednesday on California’s north coast as we hunker down for more ‘conveyor-belt’ action. According to the NWS this morning, three to six inches of rain could drench us heavily on-and-off until Saturday, creating flash flooding, especially with low-lying byways — poetic warning from our weather-service people: ‘It can be impossible…
Overcast and gloomy-looking here this early Tuesday on California’s north coast. According to the NWS, ‘Rain Likely‘ today, accelerate slowly into ‘Heavy Rain‘ by tomorrow night, and accompanied by ‘Breezy,’ will continue in similar fashion, on-and-off for a number of days. Weather always a topic — in my neck-of-the-beach/woods weather can shift in minutes, and…

Thick, heavy rainfall carried by gusty winds this Saturday afternoon here on California’s north coast as a fairly-strong ‘atmospheric river‘ pours across the shoreline. Started raining in earnest last night, and with only occasional short, dark spaces of dry, has been continuously hammering down all day.
