Warming Rain

As we await the first of a series of heavy-wet weather starting maybe this afternoon, the driver of how our environment operates is getting hotter — global warming is supposed to be worldwide, right? The actual heater depends on location… Via the Guardian this morning: This type of question is answered in a very recent…

Stormy Monday

Rain in buckets-full this early Monday on California’s north coast, and some blustery winds, too. Just another episode of the rain-laden storms sweeping across the West Coast this week, and apparently no end in sight until Thursday, then it’s only for a day or so, then once again the cycle starts all over again. Covering…

ARs in the Air

Rain-to-drizzle-to-rain again this Saturday morning on the storm-tossed northern California coast — under the sweep of several ‘atmospheric rivers’ for the next week to 10 days. According to the NWS, those storms will bring ‘copious amounts of moisture‘ to our area, from tonight through next Thursday — 5.5-to-12-inches of rain for Humboldt County, depending on…

No ‘Hiatus’ in the Heat — Even in the Cold

Bright-sunshine and cold air this early Thursday on California’s north coast — right now, well into the morning, and we’re at just above freezing after striking a pre-dawn low of 29-degrees earlier. Dry and cold til Saturday, supposedly, when another rain storm comes thrashing through the area. And of rain and our drought, there’s new…

Sunshine Snowfall

Sunshine bright and beautiful on an early Wednesday here on California’s north coast. A glaring respite to a string of storm systems that’s been rolling across our region — a couple of days of sun-and-semi-sun, then another heavy-soaking rain storm forecast for Friday, or early Saturday. And cold, too. Temperatures expected to take a hard…

Beach Flurries

A white landscape this early Monday on California’s north coast, snow flurries mixed with hail has left the area looking out of whack. Odd to see all white. Roadways, driveways, rooftops, the texture soft on top, cold and slippery underneath. According to the NWS this morning: ‘Coastal areas, even as low as sea level, may see…

Rain, Rain

Heavy rain gushing through gutters this Friday morning on California’s north coast — we’re in the wet midst of a fairly-decent storm cycle, all propelled by some blustery winds. We could see gusts above 20-mph, and although forecast for maybe half-an-inch of rain today, so far from the looks of it, the end-result should be…

Lamenting the Deplorable

Slivers of faded-yellow sunshine this early Thursday on California’s north coast — big rainstorm due this afternoon, and will supposedly drench-over into all day tomorrow. Weather the system, but not the climate — an unpresidented gloom in the T-Rump atmosphere: It is about the candidate who was picked as president by the electoral college on Monday.…

Raining Reality

Overcast with occasional sunshine this early Monday on California’s north coast, as more rain expected starting tonight. Even as the Electoral College does its shitty thing today, T-Rump and climate change don’t mix — especially with the midlands of the US now engulfed in a winter where temperatures are below -50°F at times. Warmth bringing…
