Nearly clear-as-a-bell with some bright sunshine this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast, and although forecasters claim we could see temperatures in the low 80s today, a shoreline breeze will most-likely keep the real sweaty-heat away. Yet beach-side is still warm (via NWS Facebook page): ‘74 degrees at WFO Eureka at 12:05 PM. That is…
Yesterday a rocking unusual — a shaker way-too-close to the barn. Just 16 miles away from me, myself and I was a 3.0 earthquake, and though no damage or much movement detected, my fright level was after-the-fact off the charts. Details at the USGS. And to increase the shaker-paranoia, check out the latest quakes all over…
Sunshine just a little while ago, now coastal fog has replaced the upswing brightness this Monday morning here on California’s north coast, and like a mental patient with mood swings, the shoreline weather is all over the place. And hot, too. Reportedly, this is to be one hot week, especially of course, for the interior,…
Bright and sunny this Saturday afternoon on California’s north coast as we continue onward through the weekend. And on through the summer — supposedly California’s forest-fire season. The burning started earlier this year, if it really stopped at all during the winter, and also continues onward, with 3,600 fires statewide in 2015, ‘almost 1,300 more…
Bright sunshine and warm this Friday on California’s north coast, and we’re facing similar weather conditions for the foreseen future. No rain for a long spell… Apparently, the ‘wasting disease‘ for sea stars (star fish) continues (Jana Hennessy, a master’s student at HSU): ‘“I know our local beach-goers and tide-poolers have noticed the decline in…
Bright and warm still in late afternoon on California north coast, working toward end of the week already — flies the time. Looking upon lying about time — George W. Bush, State of The Union, Feb. 2005: ‘“As we fix Social Security, we also have the responsibility to make the system a better deal for…
Sunshine and a warm breeze near this mid-day Thursday on California’s north coast, and we supposedly could top 70-degrees this afternoon. Another pleasant shoreline episode. Up here in marijuana country and across a well-rolled America, a dramatic shift in the cannabis perspective, which is years and years late — via Yahoo: Forty-four percent of Americans…
Broken-overcast this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, with sunshine playing a more aggressive part in our morning — hope is for more brightness this afternoon. Yesterday was about the same, too, but little sunshine arrived later. According to the NWS, there were more than 500 cloud-to-ground lightning strikes on Monday across the interior of…
Overcast with some occasional thin-ass sunshine this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast, and another mundane summer-weather episode for us. Not so last weekend down southern-California way — Science writer Bob Henson at WunderBlog this morning: Amazingly, the past weekend produced more rain in San Diego than the previous 100 Julys combined (1915–2014). This was also…
Despite a twisted history, marijuana is proving itself over and over again in the medical/health arena, the latest gets down to the bone.
