Mercury Rising: Have You Switched on Your Air Conditioner Yet?

We asked Florissant Patch Facebook readers if they decided to cool off with air or stick out the 90-degree weather.

With the weather apparently skipping spring and going straight from winter to summer, a lot of residents have had to make a difficult decision—to turn on the air conditioner or not?

With temperatures reaching into the 90-degree range this past week, we asked readers on the Florissant Patch Facebook page whether they had turned on the air or made do through the hot temperatures.

Of the 22 comments made on the post, 16 people had decided to turn on the air conditioner, but there did remain a few holdouts.

Along the same accord, Mike Bond posted, “No. Cool the house at night, close windows late morning. It did get warm [Wednesday].”

Others said they couldn’t take the heat, so they had to turn it on.

Matthew Ingmire wrote, “Today makes about the 3rd time we've had it on.”

Janice Wright Kramer simply said, “yes-yes-and yes…”

So let us know, have you turned on the air conditioner yet or have you decided to wait it out a little longer?
