Cold, drizzling rain this near-noon Wednesday on California’s north coast and we’re expecting maybe some thundershowers later on toward evening. According to the NWS, we should catch a small break tonight and into early Thursday, but another round of wet weather due by the weekend — and then rinse, and repeat. Michelle Mead, warning coordination…
America’s longest war continues seemingly unabated — in southern Afghanistan, a “harrowing” situation: “On the map there is one green dot representing friendly forces stuck in the compound, and around it is a sea of red [representing hostile forces],” the official told Fox News. One American dead already… (Illustration found here). Apparently, the drama is even-more…
Drizzling rain this noon Tuesday on California’s north coast as our now-normal ‘conveyor-belt’ storm fronts keeps the dull gray overcast drenched across the landscape. Winds are expected to get rowdy later on, the NWS issued a Wind Advisory this morning, calling for gusts at more than 50 mph sometime this evening, and of course, more…
Rain and darkly overcast this early Monday, the real-start to 2016, and here on California’s north coast, we also commence another in our now-normal, on-going series of ‘conveyor-belt’ weather fronts. According to the NWS, at least two storms this week, the first started yesterday afternoon, and supposedly after a slight pause late tomorrow, another due…
Deeply-overcast and drizzling this noon Sunday on California’s north coast, as the whole region prepares for another roller-coaster weather ride. Big storm due in this afternoon and evening, first in a series supposedly packing way-more rain than snow, though, the mountain-tops already look good for the season (via The Weather Channel): ‘According to winter weather…
Once again bright sunshine and cold temperatures here on California’s north coast as another new year arrives, whether we like it or not, and it sure don’t feel like a Friday. And it sure-as-shit don’t feel like another ‘whole‘ year has gone bye-bye — my post from last Jan. 1 (seemingly a swift dash in…
Sunrise bright and way-clear this New Year’s Eve on California’s north coast — a way-rapid week since last Thursday, and a freaking-quick year now-swiftly coming to conclusion. A cold morning, too. Maybe just getting old, or something, but it appears to me time is traveling a whole-lot faster than it did only a short few…
Clear, bright sunshine and not-so-cold temperatures this Wednesday afternoon on California’s north coast, enveloped in a nice stretch of outside-conditions this week — no rain forecast until Sunday. The NWS is ‘expecting quiet weather‘ to ring in the New Year. Then back to our rain-storm-business-as-usual weather, just badder (via NBC News): ‘But a Dec. 27…
Bright sunshine with a whole-lot of cold this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast as it appears we’ll be rain-free for a few days, with no wet stuff expected until next Sunday. You’d think after nearly three weeks of near-continuous rain there’d be more (via KPBS): ‘As of Tuesday morning, the average Sierra snowpack was…
Sunshine and seemingly a bit warmer this near-noon Monday on California’s north coast, as the latest storm appears gone for now — supposedly pretty-good weather this week, though, maybe some rain late-Tuesday/early Wednesday. In the brightness of the morning, and the pep-upper of them all — coffee! (via today’s Medical News Today): Caffeine is probably…
