Melvin Stoddard Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I set up lights for one side of my yard, I will have something simaler on other side. They are not as straight or evenly spaced as they will be during my show. http://youtu.be/90p-iJAN5LI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melvin Stoddard Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 Last year we had no snow before New Years Day. We have a 1 in 5 change of a White Christmas on average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Don Gillespie Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I like it, I like it, I like it, would be neat to try that up north but afraid the lights would have to be mounted on 5 foot stakes to keep them out of the snow. Really neat effect you get to use your whole yard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Simmons Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I think what would actually look even better is if there was three or four inches of snow covering the lights. Back in my pre-LOR days I'd try almost annually to achieve that with chasers or mf sets. Sometimes it would succeed, even if only for a few days, and it would look great! With LEDs the effect might last longer because the snow wouldn't be melting from the heat of the lamps. Of course, as soon as a foot of snow falls then the gig's up.

Melvin Stoddard Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 We have had some big snows. I use to have c-9 incandescent lights around the edge of my yard and they would glow through several inches of snow, and melt it quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Don Gillespie Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 With the snow the incadesant lights look really sharp they create enough heat to melt the snow giving it a different look the Leds produce no heat and as Geoge said they get buried in the snow I am trying to talk my wife into standing in the yard with her hair dryer and everytime it snows she could turn it on for a while to melt the snow she told me to ---- off but I think that means she is going to try.
