Is the rain finally over for California?

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:17:28 GMT

For Californians sick of rain, snow and an all-around stormy start to 2023, the next couple weeks are looking good. The Climate Prediction Center, a division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, released two maps Monday that show California is expecting weather that's both warmer and drier than average starting Easter Sunday and continuing for five days. Does that mean the era of atmospheric rivers is over for this rainy season, and California can finally dry out? California could see wildflower ‘super bloom’ this spring There are good reasons to believe the worst of rain is behind us, explained Brian Garcia, warning coordination meteorologist with the National Weather Service's Bay Area office."As we move deeper into spring, the odds of having large impactful storms diminishes," said Garcia. "It's tough to say with 100% certainty that we're done with the big storms, but climatologically we're at the end of the window.'Late-season large storms are still a possi...

Enter the Dragonette

Enter the Dragonette: Dragonette returned last fall with her first album in six years, Twennies. The artists real name Martina Sorbara, worked on the project with Dan Farber (Dizzee Rascal, Lizzo).“The word ‘twennies’ comes up in a couple songs on the record, and felt like a theme that was taking dominance,” she said in a statement. “I think it has to do with a kind of reflection on this moment, right now, the 2020’s versus me in MY 20’s. What do i have left from that time in my life, what is still with me, and precious and valuable, and what have I lost or intentionally left behind. As for the colloquial spelling, I feel like it captures a sort of throw-away nature time, but at the same time an intimacy with the passage of time.”“As Dragonette, Sorbara has lived multiple musical lifetimes over the past 15 years,” reads a press release.  “A Juno-winning artist and sought-after songwriter, Sorbara has scored numerous global hits, includ...

Review: Coward’s ‘Blythe Spirit’ comes alive at City Lights Theater

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:17:28 GMT

Noel Coward is one of the great observers of the world’s many subtleties, an enchanter with helpings of sly, sardonic wit. Take for example what his character Madame Arcati says in the splendiferous ghost story “Blithe Spirit” about, well, spirits.“Anybody can write books, but it takes an artist to make a dry martini that’s dry enough.”It is a subtle, sagacious quip, a smidge of what makes Coward and his his keen perception so revered in the annals of drama history. These words among many others showcase Coward’s comedic brilliance and cheeky humor within a play that was written in a week during the spring of 1941 as Londoners dealt with the Blitz attacks.The play, one of the famed British playwright’s comedy of manners, is being presented by City Lights Theater Company. The piece delights, mostly — yet not always — capturing the pithy acting style that Coward’s characters are known for.The company’s production, directed with broad, comic strokes by Mark Anderson Phillip...
