Thin, hazy sunshine this early Friday, the first day of May and 2015 keeps whistling on down the tracks. And rain’s gone, too. We’re not showing anything but fog, clouds and sun (in that order, usually) the next week to 10 days — the Bay Area experienced ‘easily the lowest on record‘ rainfall totals for…
Hazy sunshine this afternoon along California’s north coast with fog apparently just waiting to cover the sky — nice with a cool, brisk breeze right now, but the light is fading on us. Odd how the darker it gets here in mid-afternoon, that some natural instinct in the brain (maybe just my brain) thinks also…
Overcast, gray and a bit on the chilly side this afternoon on California’s north coast. Sunshine aplenty this morning, all gone now. News item I spied earlier today, another one of those unpredictable side-effects of a warming planet — the Arctic’s permafrost melt — and another warning on methane release. Although not a ‘new‘ environmental…
Overcast this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, once again the combo fog/cloud routine until probably later in the morning or until afternoon — supposedly considered as ‘windy‘ today, we’ve usually the wind, but rarely designated as such by the NWS. And wind also usually brings sunshine, which is good. Today is also the 45th…
Thick ground fog this early Monday on California’s north coast, and the start of another work week, but not really for us asshole-retirees, since we’re already cruising in a thick ground fog. Not necessarily metaphorical weather-speak, either. Yet in reality, maybe more of a drift, less of a cruise. And maybe, too, more of bewilderment…
Clear and chilly this early Thursday on California’s north coast — a light, moist vapor apparently seems to be thinly to the east, making an otherwise explosive sunrise a bit on the muted side, hazy and undefined. According to the weather folks, no rain on the horizon until the middle of next week, and pretty…
After a most-excellent soaking during the night, the rain has ceased and most of the clouds have fluttered eastward, as the early light this Tuesday comes to California’s north coast — hopefully, ‘mostly sunny’ for the rest of the day. I’ve some errands to run this morning, via two feet, and maybe the clouds will…
A thick, rolled cloud layer hangs to the east this early Friday on California’s north coast, dulling the light into a gray haze with a decent-chance of some sprinkles maybe to complete the picture. The NWS says ‘mostly sunny’ expected today, but we’ll wait and see. Meanwhile, out in America’s flat heartland, a picture with…
Hazy-bright sunshine the early Thursday on California’s north coast — supposedly more rain due tomorrow evening, and maybe on into the weekend. Mostly light drizzle expected, though, the NWS calling for a ‘slight chance’ of rain Friday night. No atmospheric river to be flowing forth. Apparently, the only thing flowing forth is warmth — figures…
Overcast this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, supposedly the rain is gone until the weekend, but those thick, gray clouds hovering overhead right now look more than just a little rain-threatening. The NWS is calling today ‘mostly sunny,’ which is way better than mostly good, as I’m currently without wheels, two-footing it to Safeway…
