Palomar Mountain News

  We woke up to a beautiful snow on Palomar!  The last time I checked it was 19 degrees and a neighbor posted 19 inches at their place.  Chains required but those County Road guys are doing a fabulous job.

Happy New Year to ALL!

So pleased to find a new insurance option for Palomar.  I realize many of you have had huge increases in rates and have scrambled to find another company to insure, often asking for a lot of drama.  Brian just saved the day for some escrows up here.  Give him a call for a quote for you. You just my start your New Year out saving some money!$!

If you are coming up to Palomar in the snow, especially on weekends, the CHP may have a stop at the bottom of the grades to make sure you have chains.

About two years ago I posted about Tom Weller’s great snow chain service in San Diego.  You might think that is a long way to drive since you pass a couple Wal-Marts to get there. Well, Tom gives a lesson in how to put them on and makes sure they fit properly to do the job.  He is an interesting guy to talk to and is also “The Highway Man” that you might have heard about on TV.  The proceeds from his tire chain business fund that hobby that helps a lot of folks.

  Maybe so!  Maybe SNOW!  Get your camera out! Might be down to the 2000 foot level!  Could be about 10 inches on Palomar?!!??  Lotsa fun in store!  Sleds, mittens, grandkids – check!

Do you have a small cabin I can rent?  I am friends with long-time Palomar folks, Janice and Frank Mendenhall, and worked at Raney Ranch in Santa Ysabel for the last 8 years.  Now I have a new job working at the Observatory, so I am looking for an affordable rental up there on the  mountain!!

I’m a non-smoker and I do have a trained, well-behaved, non-barker, 65 pound black lab indoor/outdoor dog.  Hoping you have something for me.  I’ll take good care of it.

Thank you and Happy New Year

  Last night we watched Bing Crosby sing I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas and it worked for them!  What a surprise to wake up to snow in the forecast for our little mountain!  Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!

Here is another link for you that has been going ’round the internet and thought you may enjoy too – over 1000 people came together singing Angels we have Heard on High.  Like some more music?  It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas is three hours of music playing at our house – to Yours!

Snowmen (and Strawberry Santa Hats – stay tuned!) are headed to the Christmas Eve celebration tonight and Cecelia has her guitar ready to go.  Come on out and sit in front of the fire for an old-fashioned Christmas, mountain style.

Merry Christmas and God Bless You Everyone!

Yesterday I got up early to head down to the city.  Couldn’t resist pulling over to take the sunrise photo with the morning mist curling ’round Lake Henshaw. I posted it on Facebook where South Grader, Bert Hulbert saw it.  He thought I’d doctored the colors until he captured the sunrise from their deck this morning.

Sure is beautiful on the mountain these days!

 Some new folks are headed our way with cabins in their stockings for Christmas!  An elf I know has been posting “In Escrow” signs across Crestline.  We’ve gone from a long time at zero, to four properties now in pending.

So, there are some happy sellers and buyers.  But we are now at an ALL TIME LOW on inventory for the clients so anxious for a place to call their own over the holidays!

Are you considering selling your cabin, home, ranch or land?  Let’s connect!  I’m glad to get your questions answered and get those new offerings of Palomar Mountain Real Estate out there for the New Year!

Waiting for a Winter Wonderland…
