seriouslylosingit Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Last night, it was 31° outside and raining this slushy type of rain. I started looking at some of the LED light strings and they were picking up a coating of ice. Also, some of my wooden decorations and cord connections appear to be affected as well. I know you can't fight mother nature, but is there any way to prevent shorts and ice build up? I think if it would have frozen hard last night, I would've been totally screwed.

k6ccc Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) Move? It has been bitter cold here the last couple nights - got down to the mid 40s. I will likely get rain, but no white stuff, so you're going to get serious answers from someone else. Edited November 18, 2015 by k6ccc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or invent a clear dome that would keep all of the weather out. It would be like I lived in a giant snow globe!!!! That is my "serious" response to that.... LOL.... And for your information, I don't know where you live, but 40 is not bitterly cold. 40 below, maybe:) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-Paul Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 LOL love the bit about -40 good comeback. I remember years ago John Denver did a special where they did erect a huge geo-dome and heated it up and brought a section of the forest into spring time conditions.

Santas Helper Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Ice can be a problem but it doesn't effect my show when frozen. It's when it's melting that it starts to cause issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebuechner Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Where do you get those icicle lights? Those things are very realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Hans Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 The ice won't hurt you... generally. The lights actually take on a cool look when covered in ice!!!! As far as melting... as long as you set your show up well, electric connections off the ground etc. you should not have a problem. No different than rain.

Ebuechner Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) Just make sure things are strong enough to handle the extra weight of ice or snow. But keep in mind things are going to happen and every time it does you'll be smarter for the next time around.
