Hot sunshine with just a whisper of a faint breeze just short of the noon hour here in California’s Central Valley — we’re still rocking along with a prolonged heat event (now a couple of weeks old) expected to last until this coming weekend. Although cooler today — 109 degrees vs yesterday’s 111 — the…
(A somewhat-sweltering respite from the asshole SCOTUS bullshit from earlier today, which in turn, caused regurgitating opinions/viewpoints to fully-fester throughout the InterWebs this afternoon, all seemingly saddled with the whine-cry of ‘we be fucked…‘) Hot, heavy air this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — a summer crush of excessive heat even worse than…
Clear, bright, and hot as shit already just past the noon hour Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re under an intense triple-digit-heat advisory for the next couple of days; then a ‘cooling‘ span over the weekend (temps ‘only‘ in the high 90s), followed with an abrupt return to 100-plus warmth for early next week.…
Heavy-weighed warmth despite a semi-overcast sky this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley with clear-yellow sunshine occasionally brightening the landscape, though, the tone is more muted than actually considered anywhere near hot. A gentle, soft breeze that’s been swirling around all day long has kept the edge off those temperatures. An edge reportedly to…
Today 50 years ago was also a Wednesday. In those days I was a senior at the University of Florida and was less than a month away from graduating. Although I had the GI Bill for financial assistance, during the last two years of college I worked part-time at the Sears, Roebuck store there in…
Sunshine and heavy warmth this early-evening Friday here in California’s Central Valley — maybe even the first unofficial day of summer as temps climb into the 90s and officially (for me) the start of T-shirt weather. Meanwhile, beyond the political horror of the T-Rump and in the shadow of the wonderful courtroom performance of Stormy…
Crystal-clear skies empowering still-brighter sunshine this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. Off the normal topics of shitty T-Rump-related news — his ‘hush money‘ criminal trial numbed the senses today again in NYC; he explained to Time magazine just how horrid and undemocratic a second term of his would actually be; among a filthy…
Clear skies and bright sunshine this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — a preview for summer as temps kicked in at close to 80 degrees, though, a ‘cooling trend‘ is expected for tomorrow and Thursday. And proper, too, to celebrate the first day of Spring today — officially starts tonight at 11:06 PM…
Overcast with the threat of more rain this near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re on the rim of a massive winter storm that crashed into the northern portion of the state last night. Despite the storm’s power lash, we will most likely just get a breeze-like effect instead of the power of…
Low, thick, gray clouds and cold air this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley – once again we’re awaiting another ‘atmospheric river‘ (AR) to come crashing onto us, bringing rain and more rain. Expected beginning maybe tomorrow evening through Monday morning, the incoming AR is reportedly way bigger than last Wednesday/Thursday’s episode. Although we…
