War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Cool and way-pleasant this near-noon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — well under triple digits as apparently we’re right now in a real-short lived (two days!) episode of crisp temperatures and comfortable ambiance when outside. However, hot shit hits the fan starting Wednesday (but probably tomorrow) with another deep-dive into a furnace-like heat wave…
Foggy-dark-already this early-evening Monday here on California’s north coast, closing time to another dark day which did carry occasional sparks of sunlight through low-hanging clouds, briefly shinning, then returning to dismal. Supposedly wet the next few hours — according to the NWS, there’s about an 80-percent chance of rain tonight, drawing-down to maybe 30-percent tomorrow.…
Windy, sunshine-filled late afternoon Tuesday here on California’s North Coast — good weather off good climate. Speaking of which, this exchange during a Humboldt County Board of Supervisors meeting last February on a just-released North Coast climate assessment: Third District Supervisor Mike Wilson suggested that Humboldt County could be where “climate refugees” seek refuge. “We…
Sunshine filtered by some low-lying, thin, hazy-like clouds this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast as we catch a break on the ‘conveyor-belt’ rainstorms. We’re forecast for another whopper late Thursday and Friday — according to the NWS, rain will start light, then ‘increase in intensity‘ closer toward the weekend. Also to ‘increase‘ is sea-level…
Faded sunshine and way-cooler this Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast as the ‘heat wave’ for our shoreline has gone in a huff of mostly clouds motivated by a crisp breeze. Still hot via the interior, however, running the temp-gauge into triple digits. In the crank of observation, Californians are not only getting more concerned…
Clear and windy this afternoon on California’s north coast — some dark clouds over the mountains, but the gusty breezes keep them floating further to the east, leaving us near the shoreline clear as a bell. Rain again maybe tonight and tomorrow, with a goodly storm inbound on Wednesday with downpour widespread and “…will be…
Overcast and damp this early Friday on California’s north coast with a chance of some ‘drizzle‘ this morning, maybe even some ‘showers‘ this afternoon, but no real ‘rain‘ forecast until Monday. Predicting nature, though, even with way-nerd-like technology, is dicey at best. Especially with nature freaking out about the heat. Most-particularly, naturally frozen water reacts…
Clear and cold again this early Thursday on California’s north coast, working our way toward some rain supposedly coming this evening, or there-abouts, but supposedly pretty certain by tomorrow morning — the NWS doesn’t call it ‘rain,’ but ‘showers,’ which translates here close to the shoreline as, ‘drizzle.’ Yet if walking around, you’ll get soaked,…
Ground fog and chilly this early Thursday on California’s north coast. Supposedly, today will mirror Wednesday — fog and then sunny. Routine sounding, but a walk along the waves breaking on Clam Beach yesterday afternoon was simply delightful. Strong sun and a calming breeze, which my youngest daughter and I found to be also quite…
