Its a dud, but since we get most of our water from up north, I think they'll be alright. The only problem is that our groundwater isn't being replenished and the trees won't get that water they need to stay uprooted so a windy day could prove to be very hazardous like this past week.

A lingering high pressure ridge and the jet stream has been sending pretty much everything up North. This heat isn't going to help much. Definitely a bummer. I was looking forward to a winter with some actual weather.

I've seen lots of LA transplants talking about how great it is to be is a city where it's early February and it's in the 80's. I say (bleep) that. I want a couple months of some rainy, cold days. I can go out to my 110 degree car and deal with the heat just about any day of the year. I want a BREAK from that.

Agree, not to mention the break from a $220 SCE bill.

Yeah, my thought when I saw a friend (NY transplant) posting "Yay! Going to use my AC in February!" was "HTF is that a good thing?"

Damn. To think I was complaining about my 30 dollar bill. Solar panels have warped my sense of the cost of electricity.

City inspector just came to our house the other day for the last step before we can turn on our panels. Can't WAIT!

It's been sunny and in the 70s for a week up here. Next weeks forecast looks the same.

Not here. I've been here fifty plus years and have seldom seen it. November thru January used to be a good run.

Maybe it's just nostalgia, but I remember as a kid growing up in So. Cal in the late 80's and early 90's, winter was actually winter. We'd have wet weather for a good stretch of fall through winter.

Count me in as someone who also wants rain in winter. Sunny, hot weather 24/7 is overrated.

I recently moved into a home with solar panels. My Jan bill from SCE was $1.10. Is this amount typical?

Ditto, wonder how much it costs as well...always see commercials for it but they never mention anything about the pricing.

I totally understand how you feel. I missed the monsoon and was really enjoying January but than February hits and I was I could have waited for this. BTW I'm not a rain lover or whatever you call them.

Depends on the size of your electric bill. We used Baker Electric Solar. The solar company is going to decide how many panels you're going to need based on how much electricity you use (most use your yearly average...Baker used the few month average during our peak use). Our bill is typically $300 or so and during summers is $450+. We chose to finance the panels. The panels will pretty much pay for the electricity. Final cost is 20 year finance at $180/month. I forgot the exact cost if we were to buy outright...it's in my paperwork somewhere. I spoke with 5-6 companies before settling on Baker. There are a lot of small ones as well that service only specific cities/counties. IIRC, there was one in LA that would have been the best price wise but we're out in Yorba Linda.

Once the contract was signed, there was a period of a few weeks when the solar company had to get through red tape. Installation itself took 3 days. The workers were here around 9am, usually left around 3. An inspection by the city was required (at least in YL it was). Make sure you have a smoke detector in every bedroom that's working. One of ours wasn't working and the jerk inspector couldn't just let me fix it on the spot. We're now waiting on him to come back next week.

If you're able to do it, do it. There's really no drawback as far as I'm aware. You're always going to come out ahead.

Totally agree. Visited Chicago in December and the weather was awesome. Wasn't snowing when I visited Chicago but it was cold. Wished we had a chilly, windy night for a month. At least it's raining today.

Even as a native Angeleno, I could never understand people's aversion to the rain. Compared to most places, even the heavy rain isn't that bad (Go to a coastal Central American country during hurricane season, I promise you'll never complain about So Cal rain again). Yeah, I understand the flooding and mudslides are terrible, but we still need the water to actually live out here. With this extended drought, So Cal might actually turn into Mad Max or something like that.

I was looking forward to the rain this year. Hell, I even got a new roof and gutters in preparation.
