As we’re pelted with cold, way-wet gusty winds here on the North Coast, the way-outside world is getting warmer, still.

Surprise, surprise! Sunshine this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and it looks strange.

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).
