Clear and sunshine this afternoon on a small stretch of California’s north coast, a breezy wind keeps the clouds away. Last week, Gov. Jerry Brown set forth a self-proclaimed “very high bar” on climate change with some new statewide targets for emission reduction — in line with those adopted by the European Union last year, which…
Overcast, gray and gloomy this early Sunday on California’s north coast — supposedly, sunshine maybe before mid-day, but if yesterday’s any kind of an example as we received only a little peek-a-boo sun late in the afternoon, we can expect these Gothic conditions to remain awhile. So staying on the dark side of shit, more…
Thin, hazy sunshine this early Friday, the first day of May and 2015 keeps whistling on down the tracks. And rain’s gone, too. We’re not showing anything but fog, clouds and sun (in that order, usually) the next week to 10 days — the Bay Area experienced ‘easily the lowest on record‘ rainfall totals for…
Hazy sunshine this afternoon along California’s north coast with fog apparently just waiting to cover the sky — nice with a cool, brisk breeze right now, but the light is fading on us. Odd how the darker it gets here in mid-afternoon, that some natural instinct in the brain (maybe just my brain) thinks also…
Overcast, gray and a bit on the chilly side this afternoon on California’s north coast. Sunshine aplenty this morning, all gone now. News item I spied earlier today, another one of those unpredictable side-effects of a warming planet — the Arctic’s permafrost melt — and another warning on methane release. Although not a ‘new‘ environmental…
Overcast this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, once again the combo fog/cloud routine until probably later in the morning or until afternoon — supposedly considered as ‘windy‘ today, we’ve usually the wind, but rarely designated as such by the NWS. And wind also usually brings sunshine, which is good. Today is also the 45th…
After a most-excellent soaking during the night, the rain has ceased and most of the clouds have fluttered eastward, as the early light this Tuesday comes to California’s north coast — hopefully, ‘mostly sunny’ for the rest of the day. I’ve some errands to run this morning, via two feet, and maybe the clouds will…
Overcast with a bit of chilled drizzle this early Monday on California’s north coast as we await a decent-sized rain storm to come our way, probably crossing near the shoreline at this precise moment — maybe. The NWS expects ‘heavy rain‘ for today and tonight, culminating possibly with 1.5-inches of rain or more during that…
Overcast-gloomy with lingering rain showers this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, which according to the NWS, will start to feel a drizzle-down this morning, with smooth, sunshine-sailing the rest of the week. So far into this new year, the weather up here has been pretty delightful — some days warm and clear. Wind makes…
Humanity’s game: “It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you’re not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is…
