No need to turn on the heat in California! I live about 3 hrs north of Sacramento and its 6:00 P.M. and 94 degrees. Opening deer season this weekend and just to hot. We are all electric so the bill is very expenses in the summer with the a/c $650 in July and $595 in August, plus we have a pool. We have a wood stove for the winter so the bill is very low. One year it was 116 in the summer and then 10 below with wind chill factor in the winter. Other than being an expensive place to live its a beautiful area.
