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…
A goodly part of California is the Pacific Ocean. Although just hugging our coast, the Pacific carries a shitload of influence all over, spread out vast to the west from where I’m sitting, and is apparently getting smothered. Climate change and the ‘other CO2 problem.’ Oceans absorb about a quarter of the CO2, changing the…
Bright sunshine, clear skies and warm temperatures this Monday morning on California’s north coast as we spin through another dry, heated episode. Yesterday was hot (relative, of course). Sunday’s high of 74 broke Eureka’s record of 67 set way-back in 1983 — up here in Mckinleyville, we also notched a 74-high (according to the NWS…
Sunshine here this early Friday afternoon on California’s north coast, a startling-bright tempered by a slightly-chilled ocean breeze — wondrous weather, and supposedly will continue until Tuesday, when the NWS says we might get a ‘Slight Chance Showers.’ Smooth sailing until then — Right! Sarcastic statistics — especially for old folks of my peculiar-particular age group.…
Overcast and sprinkling rain this early Thursday on California’s north coast, a respite from most-likely the strongest storm of the ‘season’ last night. In seemingly classic-weather style yesterday afternoon, heavy, gusty winds forewarned of the coming rain front — then rain pushed by the blowing-crazy air pelted down/sideways/every-which-way through the evening and night. We received…
Sunshine with a chilled breeze this early Wednesday on California’s north coast as we look forward to ‘a brief return to winter‘ tonight and tomorrow. The NWS predicts gusty winds with heavy rain, possible hail, thunderstorms, too. Last night, a surprise heavy rain about dark — didn’t expected it, and strong parts of the storm…
