Sunshine this afternoon, tempered with cool ocean breezes. Too much temperature — on Wednesday a crucial environment story, an anthrax outbreak in Siberia (via NPR): ‘Officials don’t know exactly how the outbreak started, but the current hypothesis is almost unbelievable: A heat wave has thawed the frozen soil there and with it, a reindeer carcass…
Monday morning here on California’s north coast, and once again a thick mat of gray outside as the routine-like marine layer continues to hold sway. Temperatures are supposed to cool, though Willow Creek is expected to top 90-degrees today — the interior stays hot, while we along the shoreline calendar-through another weather-pattern of fog-to-sunshine, which…
Fog-banked again this early Thursday on California’s north coast — not to fret, though, sunshine and warmth will grace our locale, probably before noon. We’re chilled out here right now, but the US midsection is currently sweltering under a phenomenon termed the ‘heat dome,’ or just being way-sweaty, and way-hot. (Illustration found here). In our…
Cloudy with a chilly air this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — the weather lately becoming like the old, monotonous standard, ‘shampoo, rinse, repeat.’ The days becoming really similar — gray and gloomy in the morning, bright and cheerful in the afternoon. Not a complaint whatsoever. We’ve one of the continual most-pleasant weather situations…
Overcast-gray and chilly this early Friday on California’s north coast, but the standard continues as sunshine is slated for later today, and warmth. Yesterday, however, it was well into the afternoon before fog/clouds abated and the sun shone — a hard push-back from the shoreline weather cycle. If Donald Trump is elected in November, we’re…
Bright sunshine this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — a glare after a gray-cloudy earlier start to the day. Warming-up this week as our interior should near triple-digits, but still cool and breezy for us at the shoreline — the days go on. Despite the ugly politics and mass murder, which dominates our news…
Bright sunshine for a change this Friday morning on California’s north coast, and supposedly we’re in for some ‘good-as-it-gets’ weather for the next few days, minus, of course, the shoreline fog-bank, and those gusty and chilled ocean breezes. Yesterday, orange-tinged “shit stain” blubbered-out great anxiety for humankind (the Guardian): ‘Donald Trump pledged to cancel the Paris…
Beauteous, bright sunshine this Friday morning on California’s north coast, an environmental-glare sharpened by chilled ocean-winds. Precipitation maybe over the weekend, but amount depends upon the difference between ‘chance‘ and ‘isolated‘ — drizzle? Weather has become more than just some idle, social chatter — reality bites. Startlingly-gorgeous weather here, but not so everywhere (UK’s Independent this…
Chilly fog blankets my little patch of ground on California’s north coast this near-noon Thursday — rain forecast starting maybe tomorrow night, or Saturday, but supposedly this system lacks punch. Not much wetness expected. Hopefully, sunshine this afternoon, but chances seem slim. Gray environment, bordering emotionally on the Gothic… And to further paint a sad…
A goodly part of California is the Pacific Ocean. Although just hugging our coast, the Pacific carries a shitload of influence all over, spread out vast to the west from where I’m sitting, and is apparently getting smothered. Climate change and the ‘other CO2 problem.’ Oceans absorb about a quarter of the CO2, changing the…
