Will California and West see Storm Watch in the next few days (2022-12-29)?

[Vines]

Yes, now we know but this is an off year with heavy storms. What will next winter be like?
All about probabilities and risk taking.

Sure, but the on peak delta during the winter is much lower as well as the solar generation is much lower.

I'll take a higher reserve winter instead of the risk of a power outage at a low reserve already.

exactly my philosophy

I'm a net producer and live in an area frequent outages. Since I'm reimbursed in kilowatt hours there isn't an advantage of time shifting unless I fall under the threshold. I'm leaving my reserve at 100% until these storms are over. There isn't much sun anyway.

I have left my at 100% now for weeks

Very strange. Today a sort of familiar, bright object appeared in the sky. As a result, my roof was generating 2.5 kW at 10:00 and after filling the battery we are now sending 1.7 kW back to the grid. I sure hope I can remember what this bright object in the sky is, and that it will hang around for a few days as we clean up from the latest storm.

Not appearing in my area. Must be a unique object near you.

Has to be a UFO as it came and departed here as well.
Need to call NORAD if they are tracking it.

Feels good here and nice to see more battery charging happening for a change. Understand from weather report Mt Hamilton and ranges around there experienced snow. Happy to be warming on valley floor.

News from Santa Cruz mts and other bay and Calif locations looks bad though with road infrastructure taken out. I don’t know how CalTrans goes about rebuilding some of this and know repairs like on 92 will take a long time.

Well, I did sacrifice a goat at dawn.

Agreed.

Here in the Tri-Valley we have watched Hwy 84 open and close over and over since Xmas. But we have easy options like I-680 to get to Fremont and points past. Not as for people in other locales. I think we all owe a debt of gratitude to the CalTrans people working on roads in this state. I cannot imagine the work it takes to keep Hwy 92, 1, 50, I-80, and other more rural locations open.
