Solstice of Winter’s Discontent

Crystal-clear with bright sunshine this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and cold, too. Frosted rooftops in the neighborhood this morning as temps right now just a few degrees above freezing. No rain until sometime tomorrow afternoon, decent-sized storm expected, though.. Today is also the ‘Winter/December Solstice,’ which actually occurred at 2:44 AM, and “officially”…

Raining Reality

Overcast with occasional sunshine this early Monday on California’s north coast, as more rain expected starting tonight. Even as the Electoral College does its shitty thing today, T-Rump and climate change don’t mix — especially with the midlands of the US now engulfed in a winter where temperatures are below -50°F at times. Warmth bringing…

Vlad the T-Rump Impaler

Overcast-gray this Thursday morning here on California’s north coast, a respite from the rainstorms sweeping the area this week. Sunshine maybe tomorrow… Peculiar and frightful the chart to the right, Republicans have gone insane — via HuffPost yesterday: Russian President Vladimir Putin’s net favorable rating among Republicans has climbed by an astonishing 56 percentage points since…

The Old-New ‘Meth’

Gray-overcast and cold this early Tuesday on California’s north coast as a ‘atmospheric river event‘ is supposedly coming later today. Seemingly, we’re living a nightmare-360 scenario — according to a new study, methane (CH4), a powerful greenhouse gas, a contributor to climate change (more potent greenhouse gas, trapping 28 times more heat than CO2), is…

T-Rump, Climate Change and ‘Nobody Really Knows’

Some sunshine this Sunday morning on California’s north coast, but mostly overcast. Surreal darkly is T-Rump on TV, fork-tonguing on Fox News —  first on Russkies hacking the US election (Yahoo): ‘“I think it’s just another excuse.

‘Global warming and “an extraordinary departure from the norm”’

Overcast this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast, with rain expected at any minute — supposedly rain until Saturday, at least, and some forecast to be fairly-decent in downfall. And cold-as-shit this morning, too. However, we on the shoreline are under an NWS ‘Frost Advisory,’ vs a few miles inland, and a ‘Freeze Warning.’ A degree-or-two…

False Denial

Sunshine bright and air that’s cold this Monday morning on California’s north coast, though, rain is forecast maybe by early evening. Temps dropping — the NWS calls for snowfall down tonight to 2,500 feet, with 1-to-3-inches for Berry Summit on 299, 1-to-3-inches at Collier Tunnel on 199. The season cometh, 16 days hence… In discussing…
