Chilly fog blankets my little patch of ground on California’s north coast this near-noon Thursday — rain forecast starting maybe tomorrow night, or Saturday, but supposedly this system lacks punch. Not much wetness expected. Hopefully, sunshine this afternoon, but chances seem slim. Gray environment, bordering emotionally on the Gothic… And to further paint a sad…
Sunshine through scattered high-clouds this Wednesday afternoon on California’s north coast, another nice day sparkled by a cool, pleasant ocean breeze. Wind keeps the heat down. Unpleasant news in the keeping-the-heat-up category — appears as if global concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) in our atmosphere are way-quickly approaching ‘the point of no return,’ making the…
Bright sunshine made-warmer by a near-calm wind this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, supposedly an indicator of our immediate future. The next couple of days, as indicated by the percent-chance of precipitation-scale on the WunderBlog‘s weather thingy, a rare slide along at zero until at least early Friday — and again depending on the wind,…
Drizzling rain this early Thursday on California’s north coast, softly and misty — opposite to a couple of hours ago when a nasty, but quick, storm front hammered its way across the landscape. Heavy-pelting rain with close-at-hand thunder caffeinated the senses just shortly after daybreak. According to the NWS, more than a quarter-inch of rain…
Overcast and gray this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — a chance of scattered showers tonight, and maybe some isolated thunderstorms, too, but clear skies due by Thursday. Age is the real weather crusher, not gray clouds, or any rain. I’m a baby boomer — we currently make-up 28 percent of the US population…
Drizzling rain and chilly this early Friday on California’s north coast — this bit of thin-wet caught me by surprise as I thought we were suppose to go dry and warm for a few days. However, sunshine is predicted for today sometime, and then good weather until middle of next week. Interesting piece from the Guardian…
(Illustration: ‘California Redwoods3,’ by Will Borden, found here). Bright sunshine and gusty winds this near-noon Thursday on California’s north coast as we start a decent-sized episode of clear weather, an attitude supposedly to last until at least the middle of next week — according to the WunderBlog‘s weather thingy, the precipitation percentage appears on the…
Nine years ago today was a Tuesday. Late in the afternoon on April 24, 2007, “Compatible Creatures,” clicked into virtual life. Utilizing Wi-Fi at Linnaea’s Cafe in downtown San Luis Obispo, a few miles east of California’s central coastline, and via a then-brand-new Dell laptop, I published my first post, titled, ‘Word,’ about some shenanigans in…
Warm sunshine soothed by a chilled breeze this near-noon Thursday on California’s north coast, supposedly becoming overcast later today as rain is expected to arrive tonight and linger-around into Friday. The NWS doesn’t use the word ‘rain‘ in its forecast, however, instead opted for the less-wet, ‘Showers,’ to indicate precipitation levels. And today, of course, is…
Sunshine with a nice, warm breeze this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast — another wonder day, with maybe a ‘Slight Chance Rain‘ tomorrow night and into Friday, but not much expected. Weather the day… And of course, today is another ‘4-20’ episode, code for inhaling marijuana — as says Steve Capper, one of the…
