Thick, gray-overcast this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and a damp feeling in the air, too. The NWS is forecasting some ‘heavy rain‘ eastward over in Trinity County today, complimented with a flash-flood watch — even here in the shoreline, between 20-to-60-percent chance of some ‘isolated‘ thunderstorms. (Contrast between WunderBlog and the NWS). Right now,…
Thick-gray overcast this early Friday on California’s north coast and although we’re expected to have temperatures in the low-70s, the coolness of the shoreline prohibits any heat of measure — not so eastward, a weak low pressure off the beach keeps triple-digits happening in the middle of the state. Incidentally, most-likely our hot weather, coupled…
A light-overcast through a thin marine layer this early Friday on California’s north coast — a bright-gray light to end the work-week. Appears as if yesterday: quick burn-off, a warm afternoon tempered by a cool breeze (maybe low-70s at the shoreline) — the interior, however, continues to fry fairly-well. In the forests and mountain valleys…
Overcast with some light ground fog for good measure this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast — a chilly wind also moves around the moist, too. Rain now maybe set for Sunday, forecasters moving arrival up a few days earlier as they so oft are disposed. As a nine-month-old retiree, I never had a pension,…
Overcast and a bit on the chilly side this afternoon on California’s north coast, with a bite to the breeze. I haven’t noticed this before — suicide rate in America’s rural areas appears off the charts. According to the CDC last month: From 2004 to 2013, the suicide rate increased in all county urbanization categories, with…
Hazy-white light from the east goes for sunshine on an early Thursday here on California’s north coast, as the rain predicted is supposedly still coming — according to the NWS, storms reportedly will form this morning over the interior, eastward in the Redding area, and then circular-like, be wind-driven our way in the afternoon. Rain…
Already a blustery wind a-blowing on California’s north coast, and bright, glaring sunshine — just returned from a run (totally a walk) to Safeway, and by the time I got back, my cheeks was stinging from the chilled, whipping breeze. However, I’ll take tingling cheeks over shaking ground any time, anyplace, especially right here. Earlier…
Fracturing the ground again this early evening — a little threesome-swarm of earthquakes. . One of those was a 4.3 on the Richter scale, though, measured to be buried 6.2 miles down and about 170 miles south, southwest of where I’m sitting watching Netflix, I didn’t feel shit. Then 25 minutes later, a 3.1, centered…
Once again the routine continues this early Monday on California’s north coast — thick-overcast, chilly and gray. According to the NWS, however, we’re supposed to go from ‘mostly cloudy’ today, to ‘mostly sunny’ tomorrow, and maybe sunshine uninterrupted through next week. Maybe does mean perhaps… Big news spotlight this morning is the crazy shit down…
Fog-bound and chilly this early Saturday on California’s north coast, now in the depths of the weekend. As posted here before, I’ve come to prefer week days since retirement — Saturday and Sunday seems to now only attract hooligans, and nefarious layabouts. And speaking of the coast, and more directly, underwater 300 miles west of…
