Overcast with pretty-heavy fog this early Friday on California’s north coast, but at least according to NWS radar, most of the thick stuff is south of Eureka, well away from us. Supposedly, we’re scheduled for a ‘partly sunny‘ day with no rain in sight until early next week. Yesterday afternoon was a rare pearl, though,…
Darkly-overcast this early Monday on California’s north coast as we get ready to finish another month in a rapid-moving new year. Expect rain late tonight, maybe on into tomorrow, then supposedly a few days of sunshine. Always good for any Monday is a good laugh to start the grind — this morning it’s a chuckle…
Rain this early Monday on California’s north coast, the downpour heavy at times, though, not long-lasting — we could get more than an inch of wetness tonight as this last storm winds itself flat after three or four days. A minor ‘heat wave’ toward the end of the week, with temperatures supposedly up near the…
Overcast with just a bit of ground fog this early Friday here on California’s north coast — rain expected later on, with a good shower due over the weekend. Gray-gloomy weather we’ve had lately. And along with the outside, an inside sense a little somber, too, with a worsening and obvious stupefaction on the apparatus…
Rain in the gutters this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — the NWS calls it ‘showers,’ and this system is forecast to be fairly light, pass-by-gone by tomorrow, and more possible wetness over the weekend. One hot news item — the GOP’s Iranian letter, “unprecedented” maybe in American history. Veteran political writer Michael Tomasky…
Our local-daily newspaper up here on California’s north coast is the Eureka Times-Standard, and one of the worse papers I’ve ever come across — readers know it too, the long-time nickname is the ‘Sub-Standard.’ Odd, too, this morning to see an item from the rag featured on the Google News headline page — first time…
Clear with lots of sunshine already this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — supposedly start to a short warming trend through next week. Much-metaphorically-speaking, there was sunshine last night in DC as President Obama delivered an old-style State of the Union — dramatic comedy. A Tweet via Daily Kos: ‘Senior Democratic Hill aide reacting to…
Cold and dark again — nothing new this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, as we continue to forage into a new year, one day at a time. A lot of holdover shit from 2014, though. One horrible hangover is a way-low regard for politics. Jocelyn Kiley, the Pew Research Center’s associate director of research:…
Considered ‘partly cloudy,’ right now, though maybe in a few minutes the word, ‘partly,’ will be replaced by its opposite, ‘wholly,’ as heavy rain is forecast for this afternoon on this little stretch of California’s north coast — more ‘partly cloudy‘ due tomorrow, with rain rainfall supposedly lessening. In the scope of politics and climate…
Dark and rainy this early Friday on California’s north coast, and on my back patio, a sight of a half-moon hanging slightly southward, but seemingly way-up there in a broken-cloudy sky. A lot of rain last night, and the few days. Rainfall totals for the area last month from the NWS — my little spot…
