OT: BRRRRRRRRR!!!~!

[AK]

The northern part of the state is on track for a very wet year, La Nina or no La Nina.

This chart of selected stations suggests this may be another 1982-83, which ironically was a classic strong El Nino year:

An open air courtyard between,that’s what we have. We call it Arizona.

That made me laugh…

Fwiw – it’s not a courtyard between the houses – we have a decent size backyard – and then the granny flat is on the back part of the lot – down the hill from our house. You could say we “look down on them”. LOL. They have their own private patio area facing the view (canyon, Mt Soledad, etc.)

And I didn’t include the granny flat space in the 2000sf… because I don’t live in that space – my inlaws do. But Brian might consider that functionally obsolete, also…700 sf, 1 bath… but it does have AC since we put in a heat pump unit for the HVAC.

Even with the granny flat I don’t think our house/lot qualify as a McMansion… too old and combined SF is only 2700sf.

Let me guess: you live in a McMansion?

McMansions are usually hot in the summer and cold in the winter in my experience.[/quote]

A McMansion would acutally be more energy efficient due to mordern construction. Our combined electric/gas bill averages below $60 a month.
