Still coming down hard at times up here. 11.2" total so far.

My batteries are at 62% after 42hrs without solar. I will definitely make it through another day and night. And possibly make it through to potential sun on Saturday with some conservation.

But we are likely to run the generator for another couple hours today for camp's batteries, and I will definitely tap into it after the first hour to recoup about 5%. Same will probably happen Friday for 5%. and I can always plug into our backup batteries to get another 5-10%.

I'm fairly well sized with my 16kWh bank and current usage. About 3.5 days capacity. Most SoCal storms are a little shorter than that in duration - unless this 4-7 day stuff is a new norm. But when I get the heat pump going, that will change the equation. But I can also just swap to propane heat during storms.
