Near-about crystal clear this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and although there’s a frost advisory for the area and we’re just now a few degrees above freezing, cold weather is way-relative these days. Seemingly, a vast relative contrast, too. In an environment driven nutty — yesterday, science writer Bob Henson at WunderBlog, and February’s…
Overcast and chilly for a way-too-early Monday on California’s north coast — supposedly, the NWS expects maybe a 40 percent chance of rain for us this morning, but forecasts sunshine for at least the next week. Weather to be seen, or not… And weather itself has funnelled into extremes (via EcoWatch): ‘During 2014, cities in…
Dawn’s rain this early Friday on California’s north coast — the heavy stuff arriving earlier with a good downpour after midnight. Dark and wet and gloomy as we quickly finish-off February’s rapid exposure, and attempt to become primed-and-ready for beware-middle-of-the-month March, which makes an entrance on Sunday. A week later, we’ll make sure shit goes…
Rain spatters on the back patio this afternoon on California’s north coast, but only a little bit at a time, way less than a drizzle, and really not much more than a damp wind. Supposedly, the real stuff is forecast to arrive later tonight, or early in the morning — less than a tenth-of-an-inch predicted.…
Clear and cold again this early Thursday on California’s north coast, working our way toward some rain supposedly coming this evening, or there-abouts, but supposedly pretty certain by tomorrow morning — the NWS doesn’t call it ‘rain,’ but ‘showers,’ which translates here close to the shoreline as, ‘drizzle.’ Yet if walking around, you’ll get soaked,…
Overcast this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and the NWS claims right now we’re just a few degrees above freezing — before sun up, clear and cold, which morphed into the current cloudy and cold. Early riser I am, but that’s a sleep habit, nothing to do with the actual outside temperature — idiot!…
Clear with a wisp of ground fog this early Friday on California’s north coast — and a cold chill accompanying a brightening sky to the east. We’re set supposedly for ‘mostly sunny’ through the end of next week before any chance of rain — yesterday afternoon blossomed into another warm, amicable episode in a mostly-dry,…
Quiet in the pre-dawn dark this early Thursday on California’s north coast — ground fog keeps everything muffled in a moist, chilled blanket, and although we’re supposed to be sunny today, it took awhile yesterday for sunshine to cut through the gray. This close to the actual Pacific shoreline creates a weird bump sometimes in…
Overcast with a damp ground fog this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, the weather pattern down to a science. Preliminary rainfall totals for January are out from the NWS, and for my area, we were about 25 percent of normal — I thought we were dry as a bone, but seemingly not, maybe the…
Near-crystal clear this early Monday on California’s north coast, a faint white streak peeking from the east, the moon hanging slightly above, like a fingernail in its ‘Waning Crescent‘ period, and supposedly, today should be ‘nearly the same‘ as yesterday, and if true, another beautiful one a-coming, weather-wise. And Sunday was a keeper — opened…
