War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
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…
Breezy with sunshine splashing through an overcast sky this early Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — beautiful day, though. According to the NWS, a ‘strong frontal boundary‘ is expected tomorrow night bringing some decent rain/snow into the region on Friday. Sunshine for the weekend and supposedly for awhile. If you drink coffee, trying to…
Overcast with sunshine trying to break free this early Monday on California’s north coast, and it’s looking better outside by the minute. We’re supposed to end up clear by this afternoon, and nice weather until mid-week when another short burst of rain is expected, then clear for awhile — maybe the next 10 days or…
Sunshine and a warm breeze this early Thursday on California’s north coast, as we pass through a short-mini heat wave. Right here along the shoreline we nearly reached 80-degrees (79) on Wednesday as a warming streak smacked the region/state real hard — Crescent City hit a record, too, as did much of Humboldt County (via Lost…
Warm and bright as indeed a micro-mini heat wave is upon California’s north coast — right now, near-noon, the WunderBlog weather thingy show we’re sitting just under 75 degrees, with a high today already of 77 or so. Apparently, we’ve peaked and cooler temperatures are already setting upon us — mainly due to a nice, though-chilled…
Startlingly-bright even for a Monday on California’s north coast, especially after a decent rain last evening — sounded full-time hard for awhile during the night, but apparently just noise as the rain totals weren’t all that impressive, or long-lasting. And supposedly, we’re set to be totally-dry all this week — according to the NWS, ‘Slight…
