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.

Overcast with occasional sprinkles this early Sunday on California’s north coast, with more rain expected to spatter-through later today. Last week,the NWS released preliminary rainfall totals for November — a bit better than last year (5.30-inches vs 5.11 in 2014), but well under the average for a ‘normal‘ month (6.73-inches). Not much in the way of…
Occasional heavy rains mixed in with near-continuous drizzle this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, as the holiday storms force-feed their way through the region.

In short-sweet intervals, bright sunshine this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast, a sharp happy-face in a sea of gloomy rainstorms. An oddity, too, sunshine while it’s raining — a meteorological phenomenon referred to as a ‘sunshower,’ such as rain from a storm miles away shifted by winds, or a single rain cloud that passes…
Overcast-darkly awaiting rain this early Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast, as the ‘conveyor belt’ storms continue According to the NWS 48-hour rainfall totals note this morning, we received nearly two-and-a-half inches of the wet stuff in just a couple of days — a goodly drench. And a goodly-long war without results continues, too. Another…
Overcast with an occasional heavy-downpour this early Monday afternoon on California’s north coast — we’ve been drenched the last three days, and apparently we’re going to remain drenched into the whole-coming week. According to the NWS weather-conditions thingy, my little drowned-spot/area received more than a good-inch of rain since midnight, and from all indications, the…
Overcast and a period of rain-relief this early Friday afternoon on California’s north coast, as the becoming-usual atmospheric river continues to drench the region. According to the NWS, we could get four-to-six inches of rain in another storm front expected to glide through here staring this afternoon, maybe eight inches in the northeast corner of…
Rain the key ingredient this early Thursday morning on California’s north coast — the NWS advises fairly-gusty wind is scheduled to accompany more of that noted component this afternoon, the storms seemingly continuing indefinitely, at least until way-into next week. Our weather, our climate, especially in the nowadays, and so distinct, influencing the future — the…
