Overcast this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, once again the combo fog/cloud routine until probably later in the morning or until afternoon — supposedly considered as ‘windy‘ today, we’ve usually the wind, but rarely designated as such by the NWS. And wind also usually brings sunshine, which is good. Today is also the 45th…
Thick ground fog again this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, a routine now as per about-normal for spring and early-approach to summer. Seasons are quick nowadays it seems, hard to believe we’re closing in on the end of April — 2015, where art thou gone? Across the vast Pacific, time quickens, too. And possibly…
A high-overcast fog blanket still lingers here this afternoon on a small patch of California’s north coast, creating a deep-gray sky, and although there’s some time left, sunshine might not make an appearance today. At least since this morning, the ground portion of fog has disappeared, losing that low-lying, moist-clinging feel to the air —…
Thick ground fog this early Monday on California’s north coast, and the start of another work week, but not really for us asshole-retirees, since we’re already cruising in a thick ground fog. Not necessarily metaphorical weather-speak, either. Yet in reality, maybe more of a drift, less of a cruise. And maybe, too, more of bewilderment…
A thick, rolled cloud layer hangs to the east this early Friday on California’s north coast, dulling the light into a gray haze with a decent-chance of some sprinkles maybe to complete the picture. The NWS says ‘mostly sunny’ expected today, but we’ll wait and see. Meanwhile, out in America’s flat heartland, a picture with…
Overcast this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, supposedly the rain is gone until the weekend, but those thick, gray clouds hovering overhead right now look more than just a little rain-threatening. The NWS is calling today ‘mostly sunny,’ which is way better than mostly good, as I’m currently without wheels, two-footing it to Safeway…
Clear and windy this afternoon on California’s north coast, another ruffled, pretty day here along the shoreline. Not-so attractive, though, is the outlook on a way-precious commodity, water. Our statewide drought not only continues unabated, but seems to have worsened, putting California’s water supply in a bad place. The newest snowpack survey reported water content…
Humanity’s game: “It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you’re not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is…
Rain this early Monday on California’s north coast, the downpour heavy at times, though, not long-lasting — we could get more than an inch of wetness tonight as this last storm winds itself flat after three or four days. A minor ‘heat wave’ toward the end of the week, with temperatures supposedly up near the…
Overcast with a touch of ground fog this early Friday on California’s north coast — rain expected by this afternoon (or maybe drizzle) and at least some showers on-and-off maybe through the middle of next week. Apparently, today is special — beyond humanity’s metal-grinding influence, a trio of so-called ‘celestial’ events will mark the time;…
