Interesting discussion. I had never heard of mini-splits before. Thanks!

Kensington-aren’t those mini splits great? The A/C works great too. We had some put in last year and yes they’re a godsend. I was of the old thinking as well that fans will keep it cool. But these last few summers if we don’t get good monsoonal weather have been hot!!! So ya they’re great!!

Good thinking Kenai, it may not be needed much, but when it is, it's a godsend! Certainly nice to have.

Our warmest period is late June through early July, so we could be getting started a little early! But it's also supposed to be an above-average monsoon season, so that could help mitigate any extreme heat.

WOW! I just saw Ben's Weather predictions and we are looking at 80 degree days later this week. That seems a bit crazy and people say you don't need A/C in BB. I am glad I didn't listen and put in some Mini-Splits that cool and heat. I know some of the A/C guys don't like them up here but I'm on year 2 and I love them. They are way better than the window units and super quiet.

[CHP DISPATCH] SAN BERNARDINO - VEHICLE FIRE HIGHWAY 330 / CITY CREEK RANGER STATION 7:49PM [4] REPORTING PARTY SMELLED BURING RUBBER AND SAW LOTS OF SMOKE UPDATES: [Click Here]

Couple of bears along Sand Canyon and Teton. Just chillin’. My pooches on the other hand would have none of their shenanigans.

lol bear paw isn’t oak glen. It’s closer to forest falls.

Getting some good hail bursts in the falls.

Raining pretty good north OC. Thunderstorm!

It will hopefully wash some the white stuff from the eagle nest. Two birds poop twice as much as one.

WEATHER UPDATE:
Big Bear City is now reporting RAIN. Temp 62F

Normal Hail in Boulder Bay! How do we share pics?
