No rain but thickly gray clouds made more ominous by some sharp, high-velocity winds, all overcasting this late afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley as we reach maybe a lull in the latest storm system which plowed through our area late last night and this morning — way-heavy rains earlier today, but seemed to…
Darkly gray overcast, freaky-still, and gloomy this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley as bad weather has become more than just white-out snow drifts and rain rivers as the environment has conjured up even twisters into the meteorological mix. Our skies preview the next “pineapple express” heading our way early this week with another…
Rain and more rain this mid-day Friday here in California’s Central Valley as we feel wet from a ‘pineapple express,’ which blew in from the south Pacific last night — although our rainfall is steady and not so heavy, the apparent blunt of the storm is featured south of us with flooding and more flooding.…
Overcast with occasional slivers of sunshine this early afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — a contrast to this morning’s gorgeously clear and warm environment, but right now a seemly preview of the days to come. Supposedly, we’re heading into a way-wet period starting maybe tomorrow, with another ‘atmospheric river‘ due by the weekend…
Clear skies and fading sunshine this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley.– a wildly gorgeous day compared to the last week, especially this morning when it might have been considered almost warmish, an interlude between cold-ass rain. And of the cold-ass land, we’re in a comfort zone compared to the rest of California, which…
Drizzling rain in way-chilly wind this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley, continuing this winter’s wettest-in-a-while season of storms and weather-whatnot (chaos and turbulence). Despite the way-wet environment, we’re not that bad off where I’m located — a goodly chunk of the state is snowbound, along with all that implies, like no power and…
Rainy, dark and ominous, and cold as shit this near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — the big winter storm we expected yesterday came crashing down on us during the night, with heavy winds and a lot of rain. Blustery day and week ahead no doubt now. Our forecast ringing true: Big burst of…
An occasional bright shine slices through white and thick, furry clouds this early-afternoon Wednesday in California’s Central Valley, a distinct change from earlier today. When I took Leroy for his daily walk the sky was practically transparent, with only way-tiny cloud patches obscuring warm, nice-feeling sunshine. However, the weather does make adjustments, and it didn’t…
Sunshine-warm this near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — another work week getting ready to bite the dust of time as 2023 continues to zoom on down the calendar road. As an add-on to my post from last Wednesday on an Antarctic ‘heat wave’ and the impact on sea-level rise and the overall climate…
Clear and chilly this early-evening Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — yet again we scored on another gorgeous day. Reportedly, more to follow in the next few days. News on the climate front as a remarkable hot spell around the South Pole has scientists feeling a little shitty about the future. Even the UN…
