Overcast and gray this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast as real-rain has given way to misty drizzle and sparse sprinkles — the big storm supposedly for today was quiet for us along the shoreline. Forecasters call for a slight-period of semi-dry until Thursday. In another type respite, yesterday I put $20 worth of gas…
Overcast and getting darker this Monday afternoon on California’s north coast as we wait for another big rainstorm due anytime now — and reportedly some strong winds, too, to blow the wet all over everything. This whole week is scheduled for storm-after-storm, at least until Friday, but according to the NWS, no straight downpour: ‘There…
Overcast with fairly-strong wind gusts this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast we we get set to launch into another round of storm fronts. The NWS calls for one-to-three-inches of rain with winds maybe gusting up to 45 mph here along the shoreline for later today. As a single parent of five kids — four…
In my own personal history, one of the weirdest, disconcerting moments for me was when I first glimpsed David Bowie’s, ‘Diamond Dogs‘ album in a record store — a freaked-intellectual stare of madness right out into the open air — times were feeling strange. The summer of 1974 was way-extraordinary for me, and although not…
Update/Add-on, interesting related thingy below Overcast with some wisps of sunshine this early Friday on California’s north coast as we finish the first week of a new year. The NWS this morning echoes the season: ‘Slight chance rain, then rain likely.’ Rinse, dry-off, and repeat… Nearly-plain as the weather — how does ‘intelligence‘ effect ‘sense‘ in…
Sunshine on occasion this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, a bright-spot in between sprinkles and outright-rain. Another storm is due in on Friday, and according to the NWS, maybe the next sustained sunshine on Sunday. Beyond the new-normal, extreme-weather weirdness, another freaky-deeky concern is ‘normal‘ earth movements — last night we experienced a 4.3…
Cold, drizzling rain this near-noon Wednesday on California’s north coast and we’re expecting maybe some thundershowers later on toward evening. According to the NWS, we should catch a small break tonight and into early Thursday, but another round of wet weather due by the weekend — and then rinse, and repeat. Michelle Mead, warning coordination…
Sunrise bright and way-clear this New Year’s Eve on California’s north coast — a way-rapid week since last Thursday, and a freaking-quick year now-swiftly coming to conclusion. A cold morning, too. Maybe just getting old, or something, but it appears to me time is traveling a whole-lot faster than it did only a short few…
Clear, bright sunshine and not-so-cold temperatures this Wednesday afternoon on California’s north coast, enveloped in a nice stretch of outside-conditions this week — no rain forecast until Sunday. The NWS is ‘expecting quiet weather‘ to ring in the New Year. Then back to our rain-storm-business-as-usual weather, just badder (via NBC News): ‘But a Dec. 27…
Bright sunshine with a whole-lot of cold this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast as it appears we’ll be rain-free for a few days, with no wet stuff expected until next Sunday. You’d think after nearly three weeks of near-continuous rain there’d be more (via KPBS): ‘As of Tuesday morning, the average Sierra snowpack was…
