KJJP-FM 105.7 is currently operating at very reduced power and signal range using a back-up transmitter. This is because of complicated problems with its very old primary transmitter. Local engineers are currently working on that transmitter and consulting with the manufacturer to diagnose and fix the problems. We apologize for this disruption and service as we work as quickly as possible to restore KJPFM to full power. In the mean time you can always stream either the HPPR mix service or HPPR connect service using the player above or the HPPR app.

Hail Transforms Southern California Beach Into Winter Wonderland

Published March 3, 2015 at 5:47 AM CST

RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. The reaction here in Southern California to beaches transformed into winter wonderlands - pretty much, what the hail? A rare cluster of storms yesterday dropped so much hail on Huntington Beach, it appeared blanketed in snow. Kids had snowball fights, and photos circulated on social media of an icy snowman on the sand. KTLA TV reported surfers riding down normally grassy slopes to the icy, white beach on skim boards. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
