Rainy and gray this early-evening Tuesday here on California’s north coast — more like a drizzle, but will get you soaking wet in minutes. Tomorrow rain forecast again with sunshine maybe on Thursday. Also tomorrow, the T-Rump’s EPA is expected to revoke California’s ability to maintain lower vehicle emission standards — lower than the federal…
Sunshine this late-afternoon Monday here on California’s north coast — been a fine Labor Day, with a chilly component found in the shade. Fog this morning beach-side on a dog walk at Ma-le’l Dunes; the gray burned-off a bit on occasion to let some sunshine glow, creating some warmth, but overhead mostly all misty-ash. Our…
An overcast and gray early-evening Tuesday here on California’s north coast, supposedly ‘Mostly Sunny,‘ or ‘Partly Cloudy‘ the next 10 days, probably-likely a mixture of both. Chilly right now… First post in 11 days — my old, overheating HP laptop finally fried-out on me, and I’m now working on a brand-new Acer Chromebook, ordered via…
Sunshine, wind and blue skies this Wednesday late-afternoon here on California’s North Coast. We’re apparently in our warmth of summer (seaside definition of ‘warmth‘) with tomorrow’s temps maybe in the mid-70s. A dog walk/run in the AM at the Ma-le’l Dunes was gorgeous — short-sleeve/T-shirt time, which for me says a lot, and doesn’t happen…
Windy, sunshine-filled late afternoon Tuesday here on California’s North Coast — good weather off good climate. Speaking of which, this exchange during a Humboldt County Board of Supervisors meeting last February on a just-released North Coast climate assessment: Third District Supervisor Mike Wilson suggested that Humboldt County could be where “climate refugees” seek refuge. “We…
Sunny and nice this Thursday evening here in California’s north coast — summer’s near-about two-thirds gone. A bit under-the-weather the past few days with a head cold of sorts, a condition which probably started late last week, but came to fruition over the weekend and made my life decently-miserable since Monday. I feel much better…
Another appealing early-evening here on California’s north coast, and a Friday to boot — sunshine just about all day with just some foggy/low clouds in the morning, but way-comfortable. Tomorrow will be the 50th anniversary of the first US landing on the moon, and a first for humanity, too. Even as an old guy, it…
Sunshine and wind-blown late-afternoon Tuesday on California’s north coast. Another gorgeous day with the obligatory fog this morning — a dog run to Little River State Beach was also foggy, but way-enjoyable. (Discovered no dogs allowed at Little River, a never-before-noticed sign right at the entrance is way-obvious now, most-likely to continue, though). Right now…
Fog and low clouds this early-evening Thursday on California’s north coast — dog run to Little River Beach in late morning was also misty-gray, but still rambunctious comfortable. When I checked WeatherUnderGround just a while ago, we were at 64-degrees up here, while Merced down in the Central Valley at the same time was 96-degrees…
Off this frightening news: MIT geophysics professor Daniel Rothman released new data on Monday showing that carbon levels today could be fast approaching a tipping point threshold that could trigger extreme ocean acidification similar to the kind that contributed to the Permian–Triassic mass extinction that occurred about 250 million years ago. … But the most significant…
