Overcast and chilly this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast with some rain sprinkles thrown in for good measure. Another week in the wet — tonight is supposed to be the rain high point, then the cover of ‘showers’ the next few days. And it’s gloomy, too. Weather to feel sad. Yet even in gloomy…
Intense sunshine this afternoon and a pleasant, comfortable wind — gorgeous! One more for the Left Coast: California is the first to ban plastic bags at the state level. Gov. Moonbeam Brown signed the law today — Lost Coast Outpost has the local angle. And the major ingredient of those bags is oil — reportedly…
Dawn was clear and bright, but fog arrived silently to steal the thunder. Another Friday here on California’s north coast and this morning keeps the weather pattern alive — bright and warm early on, then sunshine and a brisk-chilled wind in the afternoon. As there’s already a shitload of crap news caused by asshole earthlings,…
Latest update on the still-evolving disaster of Fukushima: ‘Interestingly, researchers found that instead of outright killing or obviously harming organisms, the low-dose radiation effects were insidious. In rice, for instance, low level gamma radiation in Fukushima Prefecture began to alter healthy seedlings on a genetic level in only three days, hampering the activation of self…
The more the work, the better the result, as even the waste off marijuana, or ‘hemp,’ can produce more than a high — how about a energy boost?

Clear and nice this early Monday on California’s north coast — the start of a new work week without much fanfare.

Overcast and wet this way-early Friday on California’s north coast as we swing furiously into the weekend. No actual rain right now, but we’re supposedly in the midst of a series of storm systems. And for today, a warm washing as this storm is one of those atmospheric river entities, floating up from Hawaii —…
Overcast and foggy with a chill in the air this early Sunday on California’s north coast — but if predictions are near-about correct, and we follow the course of the past week or so, sunshine and clear skies are in the immediate future. In an increasingly contrarian world, though, who in his-right-mind can predict shit?…
Clear and really-cold this early Wednesday here on California’s north coast with the air getting colder the closer to dawn. Away from the ocean and into the interior, temperatures could drop into the single digits, but even with us on the beach, it’s going to be a record-setting cold snap. However, since I leave for work…
Cold and clear this hard-to-handle Monday — having some InterWebs problems for some reason this morning, but we’re trying again. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous this past few days up here on California’s north coast, with more of the same forecast for this week. Not so for a big chunk of the US —…
