Wish me luck! 60+ mph winds tonight with mixed snow and rain. Flood watch as well. Everything running so far.

You've got to love Corrosion X! 8LEs and 16SSC in the driving wind and rain running strong.

Good Luck!!! You're braver than me! I take in all of my flex strips whenever it rains.

Just shut it down. It ran flawlessly tonight. Of course all of me LEs are in cg1500 cases which are pretty water tight and my SSC are all in PVC with hit glue sealing the pigtails out of each end. I am more worried about my 12 PVC mini trees and my 13 ' mega tree blowing over. We will see what the morning brings. Probably some damage control.

Everything was still standing this morning. Ran a few tests with Xlights and it looks like I lost one channel on an arch. Probably a triac. I must have missed the plug end with my caps. I like to put child safety plastic outlet covers in all exposed females ends.
Good thing I have two extra channels on the LE running the arch 😄

i was a wimp this year, and placed all of ssc for the megatree inside those battery boxes...   after fighting it, i didn't want to take a chance.
