Rainless Rainstorm

Breezy-bright sunshine and rolling, blustery clouds this near-noon Wednesday on California’s north coast. The rainstorm from last night gone this morning — leaving a small, barely-damp footprint, and a clear, sparkling sunrise. Photo at the right is a sky-shot off my back patio a little-bit earlier, an overall epitome-picture of the weather around my abode…

Rain Snow on the Drought

Overcast cushioned with a moist-fog here this Friday afternoon on California’s north coast, and precipitation-warm, with rain still expected maybe tonight and into tomorrow.

And of California’s “super” saver (via the Washington Post): ‘“El Niño is a cruel system,”…

‘Super’ Quench?

Thick, darkly-gray outside this way-too-early Friday on California’s north coast — most-likely low clouds submerged with ground fog (if there’s such a circumstance) to create a moist, vaporous and uncomfortable-looking morning. We were forecast for some pretty-decent rain the middle of this week, but it failed to materialize, beyond the spattering on Monday, and the…
