SERVICES

We are Idyllwild based and happen to stock many computer and Internet related products and accessories. If you came up "The Hill" for the weekend and somehow did not bring your laptop or phone charger, you might want to give us a call.

We are also an Internet service provider, located at an elevation of 5,479 feet. Our services include WEBSITE DESIGN, DSL, CABLE INTERNET, WIRELESS and COMPUTER HELP.

Our primary focus is the advancement and preservation of the Arts, Culture and the Environment through the use of digital technologies. We strongly believe that Idyllwild is much more than a collection of pleasant shops ... but in fact a collection of creative talent located in a dramatic environment that rivals any other area on earth.

April 2020

(106/366) 4/15/20 6:36 AM Wed

The skies are clear, the current temperature is 34 F and there is a 1 to 3 mph Easterly wind. The air quality is very good. The roads are in good shape and ideal for a hike. The moon is now in waning crescent on its way to a new moon on April 22.

(105/366) 4/14/20 7:12 AM Tue

The recent warming trend is evident in Idyllwild with clear skies, current temperature of 40F and a 1-3 mph Easterly wind. The air quality is very good. The roads are dry and very drivable as much of recent snow has melted away. The moon transitions to a waning crescent tonight and thus the size of its disc's illumination, as seen from earth, decreases, from half (3rd Quarter) to not visible (new).

(104/366) 4/13/20 7:04 AM Mon

The beginning of week 16 brings us rainforest-like weather with occasional showers and a slight warming trend. The current temperature is 38F and there is little or no wind. Visibility is a few miles and the air quality is very good. The humidity is high and there are some scattered cumulus clouds. The roads are wet but not necessarily slippery. The moon transits into 3rd quarter tomorrow around 4pm but will not be visible as it sets in the late morning.

(103/366) 4/12/20 7:04 AM Sun

Easter Sunday brings us traditional cloud-free Idyllwild spring weather. The current temperature is 36 F with little or no wind. The visibility is several miles and the air quality is very good. The roads look good with very little moisture remaining. There are some patches of snow around, mostly in the shady areas. Easter falls on the first Sunday after the full moon date (this year, April 7, 2020) that falls on or after March 21. Should the Full Moon fall on a Sunday, Easter is then celebrated the following Sunday.

The current weather in Idyllwild include damp conditions with many puffy Cumulus clouds covering about 80% of the sky. The current temperature is 36F with little or no wind and the visibility is 2 to 3 miles. The air quality is very good. The roads have some considerable runoff due to the melting snow. A nearly full moon can be seen at times peeking thru the clear areas and sets progressively later in the morning for the next couple of days. Alas, the birds are out looking for food again after the "stay-in" conditions due to the recent extended snowfall.

(101/366) 4/10/20 7:08 AM Fri

On and off light snowfalls preoccupied the weather scene for the past day. The roads are somewhat icy. Cloud coverage is 100%. The current temperature is 34F, visibility is about 2000 feet and the air quality is very good. All vegetation is coated with moisture, snow or ice. Snow is perilous for birds as it covers up their food sources. Please consider leaving some food out for them.

(100/366) 4/9/20 7:00 AM Thu

The Idyllwild area received light and sporatic snowfall over the past day with little of it sticking to the roads. There is a total blanket of low level clouds and the visibility is about 3000-4000 feet. The current temperature is 36F and there is little, if any, wind. The air quality is very good. The surrounding roads are a bit wet and slippery, so be careful when driving or walking. If you can, leave some food out for the wildlife, such as the squirrels, as they tend to stay put with inclement weather and wait it out.

Med | Large

(99/366) 4/8/20 8:10 AM Wed

We had about an inch of snow over the past 8 hours. There is total low level cloud coverage with a wind of about 1-3 mph and a temperature of 34F. Some of the roads are plowed and others have a light coat and it is currently not snowing. Air quality is very good. If you are out walking, you should be okay as the walkways are not icy yet. Also watchout for any trenches obscured by the snowfall.

(98/366) 4/7/20 7:00 AM Tue

Rain or drizzle has dominated the weather scene up here for the past 24 hours. We haven't seen snow yet at the town level. The skies are 100% covered with low lying clouds. The temperature is at 40F with little or no wind. The roads are wet but not icy. The visibility is about a mile and the air quality is very good. The chances are low for a good look at the supermoon (full) tonight due to inclement weather conditions. As of 7:34PM tonight, the moon's disk's illumination shifts from waxing to waning gibbous. A hike or walk in town is very possible today with just some lightly wet surfaces to navigate.

(97/366) 4/6/20 7:28 AM Mon

The spotless skies of the weekend turned into a complete low level cloud canvas with a steady light drizzle over the past few hours. The current temperature is at 39F and the air is quite moist. The visibility is low and at about 3000 feet. The roads are wet, but not icy in the town area. Walking on the streets should not be difficult. The windspeed is in the 1-2 mph range with a Northwest bearing. A full moon occurs tomorrow evening at around 7:30 PM.

(96/366) 4/5/20 7:05 AM Sun

Looks like we will have another day with cloud free skies. The current temperature is 34F, there is a 1-2 mph Easterly wind and the air quality is very good. The roads are in good condition. For the night hawks out there, coming up later this month, the Lyrid Meteor Shower occurs between April 16 and 25 with a maximum viewing event around April 22 or 23.

(95/366) 4/4/20 7:17 AM Sat

Extra clear skies with a current temperature of 34F, a 1-2 mph Easterly wind and very good air quality. The roads are in good shape for all purposes. If you find yourself walking around the Idyllwild area in the sunrise hours, you may notice a constant background hum. It's not distant car traffic, but likely a surging stream that is peaking in water flow right now.

(94/366) 4/3/20 7:05 AM Fri

Clear skies with a current temperature of 34F and little or no wind. The air quality remains very good and the roads are good for travel by any means. Listening to the bountiful wildlife is really magnified due to the lack of cars driving about and diminished social activity.

Med | Large

(93/366) 4/2/20 7:25 AM Thu

Mostly clear skies with a current temperature of 46F and a 1-2 mph Northerly wind. The air quality is very good the streets are very passable with the crows and ravens everywhere picking at the pavement. Their job is more difficult with less driving going on, and thus less wildlife road accident related food deposits. It will be a great day for a hike.

(92/366) 4/1/20 7:04 AM Wed

Mostly clear with some streaky clouds in Eastern areas of the sky. The current temperature is 44F and there is little or no wind. Air quality is very good. The roadways are very usable. It is very evident the many roosters in the area appreciate the sunrise.

MARCH 2020

(91/366) 3/31/20 7:42 AM Tue

Hazy clouds covers about ninty percent of Idyllwild sky. The temperature is up in general and is currently 40F. There is a one to three mph Southerly wind. The roadways are dry and clear for use. The squirrels are out in force hunting for the coveted last remaining acorns.

(90/366) 3/30/20 6:57 AM Mon

The skies are clear with excellent visibiity. The temperature is currently 32F and there is little or no wind. The roadways are dry and very walkable or drivable. The town seems abandoned with very little car traffic and walkers.

The skies are sunny and clear with excellent visibiity. The temperature is currently 30F and there is little or no wind. The roadways are dry and very passable. Bird chatter dominates the morning spring experience. The air quality is very good.

The sunny skies are almost cloud-free with coverage of about 10%. The temperature is currently 31F and there is little or no wind. The roads are dry and there is little to impede a walk or drive. The air quality is very good.

(87/366) 3/27/20 7:39 AM Fri

It has been snowing lightly, off and on, for the past few hours. The current temperature is 30F and there is a Northerly 2 to 3 mph wind. The skies are about fifty percent covered with low level clouds. The roads have about 1/2 inch layer of snow, unless they are plowed. Walking is not difficult as the snow is fresh. The air quality is very good.
