: "Countersunwise" in the sense of blotting out the sun, at the same time as coming in from the sea (the west)

Thanks, Leon, this is helpful. Living in the LA area, I think of storms as proceeding down the coast and coming inland south of Point Conception in a southeasterly direction -- as often they do -- but of course many others never make it that far. And a large system that followed that path would still appear to come in from the west -- or more probably the northwest -- in Monterey County. RJ's frequent reference to the south wind refers to the leading edge of these storms, and is thus a harbinger of violence. I think it was Everson who first pointed that out.
