How much rain? Don just measured our weather gauge at 5.8 inches for the storm so far on State Park Road.
Is it snowing? No snow yet but it is on it’s way click for details. Depending on the site you check, we could be in for a foot or so of snow.
Rosemary sent this article by Rob Krier, Union Trib. Here are his comments about Palomar:
<<On Palomar Mountain, the observatory was closed yesterday after winds gusted to 78 mph Tuesday and sleet fell overnight.“We’re really discouraging people from coming up to see us,” said Scott Kardel, public affairs coordinator for the observatory. “It’s time to batten down the hatches. We’ll just have to wait and see what comes in the next couple of waves.”
Today’s storm should be the coldest of the bunch. The snow level could drop to 5,000 feet later today and 4,000 feet tomorrow. The higher elevations of Palomar Mountain and the Cuyamaca range could get a foot of snow by Saturday morning. That could be good news for people who live on the lower slopes of the mountains because there should be less runoff to cause erosion. >>>
