Will this work in the pacific northwest in the winter?

We live in he mid-west I remove the lights (we have 5) for the winter and replace them with pvc caps. Change them in the spring.

I live on the Oregon Coast ,on NETARTS BAY WHERE WE CAN EXPECT AS MUCH AS 90 INCHES OF RAIN A YEAR! Along with storms in the winter with up to 90 miles per hour winds. I bought 2 of these and they survived the first winter very well. even with little sunlight they remained lit all night, sometimes into the morning...Jim

I would think you would need at least 6-8 hours of daylight for it to get a good charge. It seems to do fine on cloudy or rainy days as long as it gets some sun for most of it. I live in Florida, so we don't generally have a ptoblem getting plenty of light for keeping it charged.

I can't say. We live in Missouri and have owned these since early July and they have worked well. Now that we are having cooler weather and more clouds and rain they still work but we've noticed they turn off after midnight and they used to stay on till dawn. So my guess would be that if they get enough sunlight they would turn on in the evening and stay lit till midnight or so, but I am not sure, they seem to recharge when cloudy but not enough to last all night. They look really nice whether on or off.

I don't know if they will work in the dead of winter. I still have mine turned on and so far it has been down to 19 F. They tell you not to leave the batteries in during real cold weather so when it get down a little more I will take the batteries out until early spring.

It should not be an issue. I am not sure what the cold rating is. It gets down to -20f here and they work fine.

I have not tried this but, if the snow is still powdery then I suppose it would work.

I used it indoor only, it works quite well, not too difficult to configure.I doubt this will work outdoor under weather conditions. Temporarily, on clear skis day it could work.

I don't really know because I am not using it outside, but I think it might freeze up if it is not too sunny during the winter. I think you probably need something with a heater or that has constant power so it runs continuously.

It has worked this winter in Oklahoma on the couple of occasions we used it. Was probably in the high 20s to low 30s at those times.

Should be unaffected by weather. Mine worked fine through all 4 seasons included rain, snow and an ice storm.

Hi..unfortunately I just purchased this and have not had our winter as of yet. I would not feel comfortable assuming how it will do.

Don't know about that one. I used to live in Boston and I doubt it will work very well in the winter given snow sticks and rain doesn't. Unless you clear the panel off it won't recharge.

Yes but does not work well if you are trying to use it outdoors in cold weather.

I sure didn't have a problem with it. We had quite a bit of snow this winter and mine worked perfectly. Mine is pretty exposed to the west and north so could be the snow was blown off. I love mine. Saves trips out to the mailbox.

Yes. I use a little electric one here in San Antonio but our winter weather is not near as cold as yours.

I have not used this product yet since the weather here has not been cold enough. I will let you know when I use it how well it does work. I know that does not help you now if you are planning on buying one right-a-way.

Depending on how cold it could get I doubt it. Would cost a fortune in power.

Please disregard my "yes" answer! I hit the wrong button on accident. I am not sure if it will run in cold weather�.

Yes it works well in the winter, the canopy is very sturdy and held up with the weight of snow, it didn't seem to have any problems.

I can't see any reason this wouldn't work. It may cool down faster outside in winter than it would in the house. It may be counter productive if the temperature drops below freezing.
