Fusible Fog

After hanging afar all day, a moist and patchy-dense fog has finally settled itself down deeply here along the north coast — according to WunderBlog, ‘zero’ percent chance of rain for this locale, so it’s all bad-ass marine layer out there. No rain forecast until Monday. Although fog is way-normal for this area year-round, it…

Stupid

In the nowadays of whacked-neurotic life, the grace of being stupid does have its momentum. However, to be ‘stupid,’ one would suppose you first had to do/say something ‘stupid‘ in order to qualify — a preceding act of stupidity. Beyond the non-scientific disclaimer of ‘stupidity is understood/recognizable when witnessed,’ what’s the real, verifiable definition of…

Pump It Down

Overcast, dark and chilly this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, a natural stage set for fairly-heavy rain due sometime this afternoon — according to the NWS, we could get more than half-an-inch before tomorrow. Supposedly, the rain-front is expected to be quiet through the weekend, with the next go around forecast for next Tuesday,…

Hot October

Clear and oddly warm this early Wednesday on California’s north coast. After some rainy/drizzly days, nice to experience a sharp, translucent morning unaccompanied by chilly temperatures — creates a somewhat amiable ambience to the air. Heavy-rain free for the next couple of days, supposedly ‘isolated thunderstorms‘ maybe, but seemingly just ‘patchy drizzle‘ until tomorrow sometime…

Coffee and Dying

Coffee as liquid concept, and myself a low-bred java connoisseur, didn’t start until middle age — although consumed on a daily basis all my adult life, a great deal of the time even drinking ‘instant,’ I seemingly never consciously paid attention to actual ‘coffee‘ until the early 1990s. Despite what I ‘thought‘ my body told…

Rain Showers, Meteor Showers

Drizzling showers this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast as the latest storm has dumped maybe half-an-inch or more since yesterday — mostly light rain, though, on occasion the wet stuff can pound down. Forecasts are for a dry period tonight though tomorrow afternoon, then another system scheduled later Wednesday evening. Par-for-the-course in ‘conveyor-belt‘ weather.…

El Niño Energizes Climate-Change Consequences

World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Secretary-General Michel Jarraud in a press conference today (Scientific American): “However, this event is playing out in uncharted territory. Our planet has altered dramatically because of climate change, the general trend towards a warmer global ocean, the loss of Arctic sea ice and of over a million sq km of summer…

Reaction Panic

Bright and chilly this Monday morning on California’s north coast. A more-crisp feel to the air as we’re experiencing a lull in the rain for a few hours — the NWS had earlier invoked a ‘Frost Warning’ for our area, indicating winter a-coming. Another rain front expected later this afternoon with drizzles and such until…

Rain ‘Belt’ Riding

Rain this Sunday morning, followed by more rain, then sunshine for a few seconds, quickly-swallowed by darkness and a drenching. Strongest storm so far this year — pretty heavy-sounding during the night, stroked by a clattering wind, prompting an earlier NWS ‘wind advisory.’ And another seasonal-overall advisory, too, with emphasis (LA Times): “It’s official. El Niño’s…
