Rain for a change on California’s north coast this early Monday, seemingly more like a drizzle now, but dribbling sounds off the gutters indicate water volume has been decent enough — lived in this apartment so long I can recognize rainwater totals off ping-pang-pop of its external rooftop drainage system. Apparently, the heaviest of the…
Low-overcast merging with some ground fog this early Sunday on California’s north coast, but feels a bit warmer, most-likely a 20-percent chance of rain this evening the reason — most of the time, wet weather means warmer weather…usually. The NWS forecasts the same rain percentage until Wednesday, descending to a ‘slight chance of showers‘ through…
Ground fog and damp this way-too-early Saturday on California’s north coast — seemingly the most-dead time zone of all, that period of deep quiet and isolation marking a weekend’s pre-dawn hours. Everybody else most-likely asleep, like normal folks. In the wake of a federal appeals court ruling last week the NSA’s mass collection of phone…
Sunshine clear and bright this afternoon, the sparkle tempered by a brisk, gust-filled wind — par the course. Breeze carries a sharp chill, but was way-pleasant this morning during a walk to Safeway — once the winds come up, the relaxed tempo-flavor of outside activity fades, unless you have yourself a good wind break. Once…
Sunrise arriving with a light-white haze in the east this Friday, and most-likely another bright, mostly-windy episode here on California’s north coast. Although neither the NWS or WunderBlog forecast any gusty-wind, yesterday was strong on bluster — some gusts rattled the vents. Speaking (or writing, as in this case) of venting, came across this story…
Terror toss to the good today — maybe/maybe not have a positive effect in this era of multi-media surveillance, especially through phones, and fright. Via The Hill: ‘A federal court has decided that the National Security Agency’s bulk, warrantless collection of millions of Americans’ phone records is illegal.’ And, ‘“exceeds the scope of what Congress…
Already a blustery wind a-blowing on California’s north coast, and bright, glaring sunshine — just returned from a run (totally a walk) to Safeway, and by the time I got back, my cheeks was stinging from the chilled, whipping breeze. However, I’ll take tingling cheeks over shaking ground any time, anyplace, especially right here. Earlier…
First-faint light in the east this early Thursday on California’s north coast, and at this particular moment, the skies are clear — this close to the Pacific shoreline, clouds and fog are most-likely already forming, but right now sunrise could arrive with a bright thunder. Now about half-way through my Yerba mate, which followed a…
Bright sunshine and gusty wind this afternoon on California’s north coast — skies clear as a chilled-bell with that breeze pretty-blustery at times. Shoreline weather ’round these parts is mostly one of two types — overcast/fog, or cloudless with a bite-to-it wind. Local weather conditions usually lead most of my posts, which comes from just…
A near-ethereal sunrise this early Wednesday, at least as witnessed from my little back patio, situated not far from California’s north coast, — sky to the east hazy, but above and roundabout seemingly clear as a bell. Maybe rain forecast now for Saturday night, but till then, according to the NWS, continuing ‘mostly sunny,’ which…
