Heavy rain showers and brief sun breaks seem to be on repeat in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Mother Nature is enjoying playing April Fools jokes…

California Gov. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social failed last week to implement #SB54 – the nation's strongest plastic reduction law. That is not the last word! Read the statement from the Aquarium, @oceana.bsky.social, and @oceanconservancy.bsky.social. www.montereybayaquarium.org/newsroom/pre...

Look at that spin. This low pressure system will erode the weak ridge of high pressure that set up over California and open up the storm door this week. I count at least three systems targeting the state with rain and snow over the next week. #CAwx

I’m not sure there’s anything more beautiful than walking West Cliff in early spring when the weather is like it is right now. We have an extra hour of light today, get out and enjoy it!

Last evening as the Giant Dipper was about to be swallowed by a thick wall of fog. 20 minutes after I took this, I couldn’t even see the lights of the Boardwalk from a very cold Santa Cruz Wharf!

Today, the now famous wharf bathroom turned life boat to 2 very lucky construction workers that went for the ride of their life’s on, was torn down and removed from the mouth of the San Lorenzo River. And not good news for the reopening of the undamaged portion of the wharf, it’ll be weeks at best
