Sunshine is fading away this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — a thick fog bank has been slowly darkening the air, carried by a chilled breeze and our ‘heat wave’ slips away. The interior is supposed to catch some thunderstorms, half-inch hail with heavy rain in some parts, eastward over near Weaverville, the system…
A damp-looking, deep-gray-ground fog deadens first light this too-early Monday on California’s north coast — although dismal appearing now, the NWS claims today will be ‘mostly sunny,‘ with temperatures in the low-70s, ‘heat wave‘ weather for us. Of course, I’m being dumb — the NWS has issued a hot weather advisory for the interior of…
Bright sunshine and feeling warm — at least for up here along California’s north coast — and as it’s Friday afternoon, we’re way-close to the weekend now. In a pure instance of time-travel, mind-wise anyway, and I did not remember this at all until close-to-right-now — 47 years ago earlier today, Bobby Kennedy was gunned…
Clear-looking to the east this early Friday on California’s north coast, and a bright sun-up if the fog don’t get here first — chilly a bit now, though, supposedly we could see/feel 70-degrees today. Unlikely to happen, as this afternoon’s wind-chill factor will keep any soothing warmth out of the air. Although we’re a few…
Bright and blustery this afternoon on California’s north coast — the gusty-breeze a bit chilly and sharp, but if you’ve a wind break, the air’s warm and not unpleasant. Major climate news earlier today, as apparently there’s been no supposed global-warming “hiatus” the last few years, instead the whole scenario might be worse — NOAA…
Thick-gray clouds on an early Thursday, hanging-low along California’s north coast — might be more fog than cloud, sometime hard to reckon, but whatever, supposedly should be clearing fairly-quickly this morning. The NWS forecasts dry weather through middle of next week, but for today, a rare use of the word, ‘Breezy,’ with a small logo…
Thinly-overcast with faded sunshine this afternoon on California’s north coast, already mid-week — time flies whether you’re having fun or not. Zilch for humor in this CNN/ORC Poll: ‘According to the poll, 52 percent of adults had a favorable impression of George W. Bush, 43 percent unfavorable.’ Either collective amnesia, or there’s a huge-shitload of…
Overcast with a touch of ground fog this early Wednesday on California’s north coast as we’re expecting more sunshine today despite a forecast for a possible, slight-touch of drizzle. Weather along a shoreline is always abnormal, so whatever is outside is what’s happening — doesn’t make any sense, but not making sense is part-n-parcel of…
Bright with a gusty, chilly wind this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — nice to finally see some sunshine after a seemingly unending fog-overcast weather mood for weeks. Supposed to be like this for awhile. And supposedly, we’ve got a little “earthquake swarm” apparently happening off the coast of Oregon (probably about 250-300 miles northwest…
Drizzling this afternoon on California’s north coast — a steady, chilled damp in the air, a slip maybe above fog. As a retiree, and a baby boomer, I’m witnessing our long dumb-ass tale approaching an ironic, befuddled end, or something — we’re living longer in deteriorating health with less medical insurance, and we’re not handling…
