Oct. Temps in So. California - Packing Advice

[soozaay]

I need some packing advice.

We're going to DL Columbus Day weekend & then to Big Bear Lake (where my sister lives) for the rest of the week and have no idea of what to pack clothing wise. I looked at Weather.com and see what the temps are around that time and they say approx. 81 during the day and 60 at night (very nice :o)...so I'm guessing shorts and a light sweater for the evenings? Now for Big Bear...60's during the day and 40's at night! I'm thinking I'm going to have to pack summer AND fall clothes.....yikes! :mad:

Any suggestions from my Southern California DIS friends?

Thanks!

That's pretty accurate.

It's been hot this year (90's today - end of Sept) so it may be
a little warmer than in the past years. Big Bear is always
colder - especially at night - because of the altitude.

For many of us SoCal folks 60's isn't shorts and a light sweater
weather. for me 60's at night is jacket weather. Chilly!

Weather is one of the more interesting things about living in
this area. In mid-winter we can hit the ski slopes in the morning,
drive for 90 minutes and surf in the afternoon.

GGRREEAATT! Well, I guess if I pack light...then I'll just HAVE to buy a Disney sweater! Oh darn!

Thanks!

When we went in 2007 it was 80's during the day and then it would dip into the 50-60's at night. We swam at the hotel at night. And then one day we needed a light jacket. It was really perfect.
