It's crazy in our area as well. Last two days of low 20's with low 40's for highs....next week supposed to be back into low 50's for highs again.

People think "Southern" and automatically equate it to "arid desert"

Here we have a distinct winter season....it just doesn't last as long. I actually like it as I'm a colder weather guy anyway. Spent plenty enough time when younger working in the North, upper mid-west, and parts of Canada and Quebec anyway!

I don’t do exterior decorations of any kind anymore. PITA to put them up and then take them down + elevated electric bill. I tell people (ok mainly just my wife) I am concerned about the environment and don’t want to use all that electricity for lights and decorations. All effort allocated to interior and that’s a PITA too.

My wife puts up our decorations......I let her too.

I may bring the tree into the house for her...but after that she's on her own.

Got off 3rd shift the other day and was gonna start putting up the lights. However I decided to sleep and didn't wake up until 4pm. Was only able to get part of the lights up as it started to get dark. Will continue tho when I get back from this roadtrip the wifey and i are on.

Hey Rick....was that part of The Downton Abbey Exhibition?
Pics look great. Wife and I are headed up that way in a few weeks.
Love Asheville.

Those are some of the Christmas decorations in the Biltmore House. I have about another 100 pics. We didn’t get a chance to see the Downton Abbey Exhibition this trip but will be back before it’s gone. We caught Chihuly in Summer 2018.

As an FYI the annual passes are on sale for $100 off through the end of this week. But the annual pass doesn’t include the Downton Abbey Exhibition. Also, you may already know, but reserving a time in advance to tour the house is recommended. It was pretty packed today. Have a great trip!
