Bright sunshine and a cool breeze this early-evening Tuesday on California’s north coast — another good-as-it-gets episode. According to the Northern California Weather Blog, posted yesterday, there’s another High pressure system along the shoreline, making temperatures 5-to-10-degrees above normal, though, gusty north winds created a cooler feel to the air. Little River Beach with the…
Sunshine and hot this early-evening Tuesday here on California’s north coast, balmy it be — the NWS reports 82-degrees right now in Arcata, and will supposedly stay way-warm until dark. Although not really what you’d call ‘hot,’ but for us coast people, it’s ‘sweltering.’ Yesterday from the Northern California Weather Blog: A high pressure ridge…
Seemingly-white sunshine this Friday afternoon on California’s north coast, the brightness of the low-hanging clouds appears to bleach the air — warm, too. We did get some decent sun this morning, then on occasion, and now all-the-time all gray. We’re just in a slight respite from a couple of ‘rare‘ atmospheric rivers that’s swept the…
(Illustration found here). Sunny and windy this early-evening Thursday on California’s north coast — way-windy on the beach this afternoon, which can spoil the flavor of the moment. Really bright, though, which is nice… In the monkey-go-around of the nauseating T-Rump freak-show in DC, we have a near-perfect distraction from the main, most-single issue of…
(Illustration found here). Writer and activist Bill McKibben in an interview at Outside magazine, published Monday, ‘Earth Day,’ and a bit of historical-reality with our predicament: “The oil companies knew everything there was to know about climate change. Look, these were the richest companies in the world. They had vast squadrons of scientists. Their product…
Overcast and damp this Thursday evening on California’s north coast — drizzled all day. Despite that, took a nice dog-hike to Little River State Beach this morning, and as apparently not many willing to venture outside in the breezy wetness, had the whole area to ourselves. Another episode in the good-time-had-by-all category. Weather-wise, supposedly much…
Just when the black-comedy shit gets real, and it’s WTF: One of the few actual capabilities of the T-Rump is in sowing uneducated chaos — an acknowledgment of that talent last month from Joe Balash, assistant secretary for land and minerals with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, speaking podium-wise at a conference for folks…
(Illustration found here). Sundown Wednesday here on California’s north coast, clear, dying-gray skies, touched along the westward edges with a little bright tinge, a sense of approaching dark. Chilly, though, as it’s been since about noon-time today when the icy-north wind arrived — earlier was easy warm, was hoping it would stay that way, but…
(Illustration found here). A warm and bright Monday afternoon on California’s north coast. Despite temperatures only in the mid-50s around noon-time, the lack of any decent wind fostered a much-more-warmer feeling. Walking the dogs earlier out on Little River State Beach the air felt actually, ‘hot.’ Even if using that word too soon in the…
(Illustration: M.C. Escher’s ‘Tower of Babel,’ found here). Sunshine chilled by crispy-breezes this late-afternoon Sunday on California’s north coast, fully a gorgeous day, even despite a run-in earlier with some weather — walking the dogs on North Beach, still covered in bright sunlight, a big-ugly mass of dark, condensed water vapor appeared lumbering right for…
