George Simmons Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Or if I HAVE seen something like this hanging on a house in any neighborhood I've ever lived in I can't remember it. We had quite a bit of wind yesterday (they call it blizzard or something..) and the temperature dropped about 30 degrees during the day from a melting range to near zero. This is the result. Guess which way the wind was blowing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfing4Dough Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I agree, I have never seen Christmas lights still up in my neighborhood in late March either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well gird your loins - this year might be a record. At this rate, I'll still have cords locked in ice for another month and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Stevens Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 George - The wind was blowing from right to left in that picture, right? I still have some lights out. I take down much of it shortly after Christmas, but on some of it I wait for better weather. I don't need to be up on my roof if there's much of a chance of slipping on iced or even wet roofing shingles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Mitchell Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I got the last of the lights off the house last Friday. Now we just got another 8 inches of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainyoregonchristmas Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 How did you get your water solid? I don't think I know what that white stuff is on your roof either! In my state, we prefer our water liquid, cold, but still liquid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Simmons Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 When I was a little twerp, my grandma (Goldie, we called her) told me snow was God's dandruff. I think I actually believed that for a few days until it snowed again and I went to my mom, all full of myself because I knew what Goldie had told me, so I told my mom and she laughed so hard she had a farting fit.

caniac Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 you guys are lucky, my better half starts getting the totes and ladders out January 1st no matter the weather. Gotta play along or I don't get to pimp the yard next Halloween/Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Simmons Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 My better half can get the totes out any time she wants. If that will intimidate the ice I'm all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUltimate Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 George, -3 on 03/21 doesn't melt ice... it will be awhile before my lights are down... The wife is not so happy about that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klayfish Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Mrs. Klayfish, as much as she is into and supports this hobby, doesn't want everything outside up much past New Years. Luckily, our winters have been "mild" the past few years as winter in PA goes. I always start with the props...Santa on a ramp, mini trees, etc... The lights are the last thing to come down, as they're the least obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad02 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I got the last of the lights off the house last Friday. Now we just got another 8 inches of snow. Got that 8" of snow as well (which most undoubtedly will push off the spring sale...lol), seems like winter keeps going later and later each year. If thelights don't come down by 1/1 they see spring.Keep telling myself I'm going to retire somewhere warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
