Overcast with a bit of chilled drizzle this early Monday on California’s north coast as we await a decent-sized rain storm to come our way, probably crossing near the shoreline at this precise moment — maybe. The NWS expects ‘heavy rain‘ for today and tonight, culminating possibly with 1.5-inches of rain or more during that…
Clear and windy this afternoon on California’s north coast, another ruffled, pretty day here along the shoreline. Not-so attractive, though, is the outlook on a way-precious commodity, water. Our statewide drought not only continues unabated, but seems to have worsened, putting California’s water supply in a bad place. The newest snowpack survey reported water content…
Overcast-gloomy with lingering rain showers this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, which according to the NWS, will start to feel a drizzle-down this morning, with smooth, sunshine-sailing the rest of the week. So far into this new year, the weather up here has been pretty delightful — some days warm and clear. Wind makes…
Humanity’s game: “It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you’re not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is…
Rain this early Monday on California’s north coast, the downpour heavy at times, though, not long-lasting — we could get more than an inch of wetness tonight as this last storm winds itself flat after three or four days. A minor ‘heat wave’ toward the end of the week, with temperatures supposedly up near the…
Overcast and dark this way-too-early Tuesday on California’s north coast — supposedly, we’re to get sunshine today, but who’s yet to know? A goodly rain due by late Friday, and hopefully some decent weather between now and then. In some parts of California, ‘decent’ weather is considered not-so-hot — runners in yesterday’s LA Marathon sweltered in…
Rain-drizzle and gray this afternoon on California’s north coast, but a bright gleam was found this week for our environment — normally bad news, but at least for once, some good. Yesterday, via The Verge: ‘For the last 40 years, whenever the world economy grew, so did the Earth’s carbon dioxide levels — until 2014, The…
Fogbound again this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, seemingly signaling another example of premature spring/early-summer weather routine for our shoreline — fog doesn’t usually hang like this until later in the season. Heat does carry an influence. Ostensibly, I do a lot of posts on climate change, mainly because there’s always something new, and…
Damp, dense fog this Monday afternoon — seeming the last few days have been imbedded within a gray, gloomy blanket-like, life-portrait painted with faded light, mixed in cold air. Weather-wise, too, our home and hearth heating warmer. Last week, the NWS revealed this has been Humboldt County’s warmest winter in its recorded history. So likewise and…
Clear and cold this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, sunshine and just a few degrees above freezing — we’re under a Frost Advisory again, too. Tilting through a little dry spell right now it seems, and from the NWS anyway, the immediate-future forecast looks rainless until at least the end of next week. And…
