Overcast and cold this early Friday on California’s north coast, and supposedly maybe some sunshine later, with no rain forecast until Sunday. As T-Rump bumbles into control, Americans at least for the moment are in decent economic times. The Labor Department released some good numbers this morning — 178,000 new jobs in in November, and unemployment…
Overcast and chilly this early Monday on California’s north coast, as the NWS forecasts ‘Mostly Sunny‘ for us today, which I hope becomes reality. Election Day tomorrow can supposedly be considered ‘Partly Sunny‘ for our region, and we can hope. Hopefully, too, T-Rump will be driven ‘completely‘ back down the sewer-hole from which he came, and…
Foggy-overcast this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, a preview devoid of color for the next week or so. According to the NWS, two big storms a-coming — the first tonight and Thursday, the second on Saturday — and weather a-shifting… Seemingly, not on a slide with reality — this from the Washington Post this…
Light-scattering rain under gray-overcast this early Monday on California’s north coast, near-toward-the-end of a storm system that cranked on us late Friday, and on into the weekend. According to the NWS, my little spot — not far from the Arcata/Eureka Airport — received just a bit more than a half-inch of rain the last couple…
Dense-damp fog again this early Monday on California’s north coast, and although supposedly temperatures are warmer inland, we along the shoreline keep it gray — until the afternoon, then way-nice. Beyond bombers and T-Rump, the lede this morning in of all places, Forbes: “Dude, where’s my fat?” Attention, daily marijuana users: according to a recently…
How can the GOP spin this — ‘Thanks, Obama!’ Via Quartz this morning: In 2015, the median household earned $56,500, adjusted for inflation, according to the US Census Bureau (pdf). In real terms, that’s equal to a $2,800 rise compared with 2014’s median household income—growth of more than 5 percent. That 5-percent jump is the…
Bright sunshine with a bit of chilled air this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — a week ahead supposedly of clear skies and warming temperatures. Dog summer, maybe. And speaking/writing on warmth — a new study shows a heating-up environment won’t help California’s grasslands after all. Kai Zhu, a global ecologist and data scientist…
Sunshine brightly this early Monday on California’s north coast as we head into a week of supposedly accelerating heat — even here on the shoreline we should be in the category of ‘hot‘ by Friday. Of course, our ‘hot‘ is ocean-breeze relative. On this Labor Day, a glance at our local laborers of budtenders, or…
Deep-wet gray again this early Thursday on California’s north coast as fog regains the top notch along the shoreline — maybe a bit of sunshine later, but not right now. Although the NWS forecasts ‘Mostly Sunny‘ for today, it’s a real wait-n-see situation. Some more cannabis ain’t-bad news — a new study indicates 10 million more…
Overcast and a bit on the chilly side this early Monday on California’s north coast — weather continues whether we like it or not. Earlier this month, the DEA ruled marijuana is still a danger, and there’s “no evidence” pot has medical uses — telling the DEA to fuck off, Washington state will continue plans to…
