Big Snow
I traditionally am able to put lights on the outside of the house for the holidays during the week before Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, we had several small snows and very bitter cold that made the hanging of lights impossible to accomplish.
Fortunately, however, we had a brief "warm spell" on Friday and Saturday. We had temperatures hovering around 41 degrees both days (5 degrees Celsius). By late afternoon on Friday the snow had melted and I was able to make a muddy mess of the yard, but did get started with hanging some of the lights. I finished up the job on Saturday as the temperature remained in the same zone.
It is a damn good thing that I persevered and worked on it during those two nice days. We are now in the midst of a bigger snowstorm at the moment (anticipation of 8-10 inches (20 - 25 cm) ) of heavy snow by the end of the day. I will be needing to spend as much time as possible shoveling us out of this storm.
But... at least the lights are up! And they look nice when they are turned on at dusk.

That snow is coming our way, but it's still raining.
AC.... I wish the rain would come back... it is too "January-like" at the moment.
I think your snow arrived here today. We also picked up about eight to ten inches; but the temperatures were just above freezing so the snow was heavy and wet - hard to move.
We just buckle in and enjoy the down time.

Pretty.
In the Midlands of the UK, we have fairly mildish weather, but very dark, dreary, windy and some rain. Up till this week it was a lovely colourful autumn though.
You were wise to get the lights up when you could. It's not a nice job when it's cold out.
