War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Bright with a stiff chilly wind this afternoon on California’s north coast — another day in the retired life. The ongoing science-reality, horror-saga of Japan’s Fukushima nuclear power plant continues, now approaching the fourth anniversary of its infamous earthquake/tsunami meltdown. And the situation still sucks, bad. (Illustration found here). Via Newsweek this afternoon: The operator…
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,…
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…
Sunshine overshadowed by a few lumbering clouds this afternoon on California’s north coast — and chilly, too. A big, big twist lately in our ‘normal’ temperature for winter has been those ‘atmospheric rivers’ involved with rainstorms out of the southern Pacific — a warmth not found in our usual Alaskan-born systems. Warm is the new…
Dark-clear and cold this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, at least for right now just as faint, blue light hints at us from the east. Another clue for still new-born 2015, and how the environment will fare-thee-well — from Climate Central yesterday: ‘The new year has only just begun, but we’ve already recorded our first…
Clear and cold this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — right now about 35 degrees, with a high of maybe the low-50s, but supposedly a lot of sun. Seems to have gotten colder, quicker this year. Or life in the age of warm (via NBC News): ‘First off: heat. Combined land and sea temperatures…
Overcast with hanging ground fog this afternoon on California’s north coast, and chilly, too — local temperatures reportedly hovering in the mid-50s, but the air feels moist and cold. Totals for November rainfall from the NWS, and my little area down from the monthly average (76 percent of normal), but a way-shitload more than last year…
Rain and gloomy-dark outside this early Friday on a small patch huddled near California’s north coast — getting close to a month now, of rain and gloomy-dark — more rain forecast for days to come, maybe some decent sun on Tuesday of next week. After a near-continuous drenching for awhile now — since July, San Francisco’s…
Overcast and chilly this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast with more rain on the way, a chance tonight, but apparently for sure tomorrow and a rainy week ahead. One local forecast read, ‘warmer than yesterday,’ but it sure don’t feel like it. As a thin, old guy, cool for me is cold, and cold…
Dark and rainy this early Friday on California’s north coast, and on my back patio, a sight of a half-moon hanging slightly southward, but seemingly way-up there in a broken-cloudy sky. A lot of rain last night, and the few days. Rainfall totals for the area last month from the NWS — my little spot…
