Man it must me nice to be a weatherman...Just curious, can you fill in your location in the info area (under your name/avatar) so we know where it snowed at? I love snow!!!Our weatherman lie to us all the time and hardly get it right. Nothing like getting paid to lie. Hopefully it melts off to get your display set up.

Nothing like getting paid to lie. Hope William doesn't see that remark!!!They lie up this way a number of times. It was to be nice all week but it was crappy all week. I hope we do not see any of the white flakes until February & I hope it is down in Southern Alberta where I see it and not up this way.All I need to do is drag out the mini trees after Halloween, and my 4 arches and plug them in and add some cat5 & phone line cables and we are set to go as far as the musical part of the display goes, then do the static part of the display and we are done. Still lots of work left and being that it is cooler now during the day & worse at night, well that make set up a bit yucky.I am glad the Fan is done, the tree is done and the matrix is very close to being done, but now I need extension cords as I may be short by about 32 cords for the matrix.I hope to be completely set up for November 25th, but the "Call Of The Wild" keeps leading me to the bush.

That's the only reason I kinda mentioned it.Hope the weather holds out for ya for a great holiday season. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgardner518 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Dam weatherman in my area was right for once! They said 3 to 6 inches. I may never get my display up now in time! I was lucky enough to get my new mega tree up today and supported off, before the snow got to heavy to work in. This is why I start setup in Sept. But dam J.O.B. kept me working to much. I got my arches up. But I still need to slide my sleeves on the aches, and run my lights up my tree! And there is no way I'm going to be able to get on the roof now! Plus I have so much more to do...This is showing how deep it is. I'd guess the 3" is right so far. And its coming but the bucket full! Its that heavy wet packing snow too.
