Palomar Mountain News

  Have you turned in to 88.9?  Great stuff.   The station site is out there on the west side of Palomar in the Agua Tibia area.  Thinking the broadcast site was looking about the same this afternoon as it did our last storm when Marcos captured the photos here.

Marcos O’Rourke  –  These pictures were taken on our way up to and at our broadcast site on a peak to the northwest of Palomar proper. Our station at this site is 88.9 KSDW.

   On Palomar this weekend?  With the chance of thunderstorms included in the forecast, you might want to pay special attention to what to do before they strike at http://www.mypalomarmountain.com/snow/

Here is the report for the biggest storm predicted so far this year: http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?site=sgx&smap=1&textField1=33.32278&textField2=-116.87778

It’s the return of Daylight Savings Time! Turn clocks Forward!

Just a friendly reminder . . . it’s the return of Daylight Savings Time!
We enjoy this time of year, because prospective buyers are out taking
advantage of the longer days to spend more time looking for a new cabin,

home, ranch, or lots and land on beautiful Palomar Mountain!

Daylight Savings Time begins Sunday, March 11, 2012.

Safety Tip: It is recommended to “change” the batteries in your
fire alarms TWICE a year . . . . an easy way to remember is to
change the batteries when Daylight Savings . . . begins and ends . . .

  For all of you on the Mountain, you have your own beautiful view this morning.  For those of you off the Mountain, the answer is “yes”. We woke up to a new blanket of snow with the thermometer reading 22 degrees!  We’ll enjoy it while we can because the sun just came out and should be pretty much only a memory this weekend.

Have a wonderful day!!!
