Anyone still have their display up?

[LondoB5]

I live in the northeast, and we've been clobbered by snow this year. Unfortunately, that made really only 1 or 2 days since the new year to take down my display.
Well...I was busy those days.
So the only things I've really taken down and put in the garage have been the 2 inflatables that we have (which we probably won't use next year.
All of my lights, lighted deer, stars, minitrees, etc are still on the lawn. Now they're covered under 2 feet of snow.
This is out first year with a large display, so we really were not prepared to take it down within the small window of nice weather.
So I guess we are waiting for a thaw / drying off period.

Anyone else have most of their stuff up?
When do you plan to take it down?
In your experience, will it damage the light strings?

Mega tree came down on new year's day
lights in the bushes and yard about a week later - these are on the floor of my garage
Icicle lights are still on the house - waiting for a warm day - like 55+
(I know, for you guys in the north that's a hot day, but in middle GA my coats are not that heavy... ;-)

Glad to hear i am not the only one with lights still up, but other than limited time I have no excuse. every thing is down except the lights I need a ladder for

I've got 20 or so strands of lights still up and my first Lynx Express battling the elements.  We had a little bit of a thaw this week; however, it was on a day that I had both the infant at home (wife at work) and a full conference call schedule for work.

It is all down and now finally for the mot part put away.  What is stopping you from putting out your inflatables next year?

I am almost ashamed to admit this, but the entire display is still up. The plan was to disassemble it around Jan 15'th once all the videos were shot and edited to make sure I didn't need to reshoot anything. Now since work has taken over, (sometimes it bites to be the police) I am hoping to get everything down by around the 15'th of February. I have about 20 controllers that have been either mounted to the house and/or hidden in various places in the yard. Everything still seems to be working fine. All of the controllers are LOR this year but betcha by next year...there will be alot of stuff changed over/around/etc. If anyone's around the East Texas area, and wants to see the show, let me know. The clock is ticking I have been told! My boss is starting to want her yard back and I can only hold her off so long!

I got my blow-ups down on 01/07/11, the day the snow started and buried everything.  It seems that it been snowing ever since.  I used Bob Rivers "Decorations" in the show but I really didn't intend to "keep em up till well past Easter" but it looks as though I might have to if we don't get a warm spell.

I was able to get all of mine down in a driving snow and my neighbors all stared out the windows looking at me like I was part of a three ring circus.. I was pt Barnum for a day.

I got all of mine down with exception to one pair of bells located on a gable end of the roof.  I walked the cedar shake roof until it got wet, and since then it has not reached over 32 degrees so they can wait until spring.  At least my last name is bell so I can just say we are carrying on a legacy.

Stuff still up....Yup!

I manged to get the megatree, cords and controllers up before the 2ft of snow!  The rest will wait till no snow and warmer then 30!!

90% of mine is still out there under all the snow. I got a few candy canes out of the ground one day but the rest is frozen in there.

Controllers and ground wires down, But snow in Pa. still piling up! arches, mini trees,mega tree and star still up. Oh and lights on 9 other neighbors houses still need to come down. With the addition of more RGB stuff mabye next year Ill run and Easter sequence using pastel colors!

I still have quite a bit out.  Can barely see some of the antlers on the reindeers.  We are supposed to have more snow Tuesday into Wednesday.  Snow blower is getting one heck of a workout though.  Can't help thinking how much of our stuff is going to be unuseable or unrecognizable when I finally can actually get to it.

[zwiller]

90% still up but no power.  Covered with a foot of snow and or ice.  Another foot coming tonight!  I really think I wouldn't be able to get my cords out even if I tried.   

I am waiting for a good weather day...  or spring...  whichever comes first!

Im in Pa and over half of my display is still up inducing my 12' X 28' foot arch. I cant just take that down by myself. Now i hear that were getting hit by an ice storm tomorrow so i went out and bought bubble wrap and plan on wrapping the whole whing with it and plugging in the lights in hopes to keep the ice off of it.
