Come On Up, the Weather is Fine. Warm Winter Weather in Lake Arrowhead!

Come on up, the weather is fine!  I'm serious. This is one of the warmest winters (so far) that I've experienced since moving to LAKE ARROWHEAD in 1991. It's sweater weather at a gentle 63 degrees.
One nice thing about warmer weather in the winter is that it brings people up to our area, which helps our local businesses. For instance, The Village in Lake Arrowhead. I was there this morning and, for a quite Friday, it was busy. Our community survives on tourism.
So, come up on, come on out and enjoy this perfect mountain weather.

LAKE ARROWHEAD Weather ~ Four Mild Seasons!

I thought I'd share a little info about our mountain seasons.  Some people think, when you say Southern California, it's always sunshine and no rain.  Not true in the local mountains.

Lake Arrowhead has four, mild, beautiful seasons: cool, colorful & brilliant falls, gentle snowy winters, bright springs and sunny summers.

July is generally our warmest month with average temperatures in the low 80s. Summers may be unusually cooler than down in the valley by approx. 20 degrees. Warm and mild, but not too hot, summer temps can range between the high 60s and the low to mid 80s.

Winter temps in Lake Arrowhead may fall below freezing, but generally rise above freezing to the 30s, 40s, or even the low 50s by mid morning. Highs during the winter months average in the 40s or low 50s on warmer days. Our coldest month is January with the average Lake Arrowhead weather temperature ranging between 25 and 30 degrees.

Average yearly rainfall: 40 to 42 inches per year (a dramatic three to four inches more than the average rainfall in the overall Southern California area). We get more rain during the winter months with January/February being the wettest months.

November thru March, our average snowfall in Lake Arrowhead is approximately 80 inches.

Temps can vary between day and night during the summer, as much as 25 to 30 degrees. During the winter months, temperature ranges between day and night usually only 15 to 20 degrees.

The variety of Lake Arrowhead weather makes our resort area perfect for enjoying many outdoor activities; From water skiing in the summer to snow skiing in the winter, Lake Arrowhead's climate offers something for everyone.

Prepare Your Mountain Home For Winter ~ Tips Below!

Mother Nature can sneak up on you like a cat stocking a gopher. Yesterday was beautiful: perfect temps & clear blue skies. Today, not so much. We're expecting snow tonight. Then this coming weekend, the temps will be edging back up.... a tad. Regardless, winter isn't far behind, so this is a perfect time to get your cabin/home winterized. Check out some great tips below.
Fireplace: Time for a Chimney Sweep to come check out your fireplace & make sure it is not only clean, but safe.HANDYMAN
Roof: Is your roof ready for rain and snow? Maybe a check up is in order?
Landscaping: Sprinklers (irrigation systems) should be turned off and hoses drained.
Pipes! Make sure exposed pipes are "wrapped." These problems can be so expensive IF they freeze , they may burst.
Weekend cabin/home: If you're a part-timer, make sure you drain your pipes before heading home, and turn off the water. A SHUT OFF VALVE is an awesome item to have installed.
Doors and Windows: Weather-stripping and caulking should be your best friend!
Gutters: Clean out leaves and pine-needles.
Power Outages: In case the power goes out (and it can!): Make sure you have plenty of candles, extra flashlights, loads of batteries & a lantern or two, and matches. Generators are always helpful.
Snow Equipment: Place your snow shovels in an easy-to-get-to spot. If you have a snow blower, it's a great time to take it for a "check up." Call ME for a list of companies who plow driveways, etc.
Food and Drinking Water: Bottled water and can(non-perishable) goods should be on hand (3-4 days...just in case)

  2. CRESTLINE LAKE ARROWHEAD WATER DISTRICT (CLAWA)

  4. AQUA FRIA HARDWARE
Enjoy your home... enjoy the seasons...and don't be caught off guard.
