The Sure-Fire, 100% Guaranteed-To-Be-Right Weather Prognosticator If you want to know for sure what the weather will be, I haven't found a better way yet than an ordinary rock placed on your front yard. *  If the rock is wet, it's raining. *  If the rock is dry, it's fair. *  If the rock casts a shadow, it's sunny. *  If the rock is white, it's snowing. *  If the rock is hard to see, it's foggy.

Though the above seems overly simplistic, it truly is the best way to determine the weather in our mountains.  One minute it can be sunny and warm and the next, the clouds have poured over the Rim and we're enveloped in fog, rain or snow (depending on the season). I think I should have been a weather forecaster. I don't know of another profession where you can be wrong a good percentage of the time and they don't fire you, keep paying you and still think you're a great guy.  That's the life.  Those rules certainly don't apply in real estate! Anyway, here are a couple links to weather sites that seem to be more right than wrong, so you can be prepared for whatever conditions may exist: http://www.bensweather.com/.  This site focuses on Big Bear weather and gives measurements of precipitation based on a higher elevation, so bear in mind that Lake Arrowhead is roughly 2000 feet lower. National Weather Forecast.  This is a very good site, but is sometimes a little too conservative.
