I read the thread talking about storing gear in the cold. My question is a bit different. What about playing in colder environments. Just for fun I thought about mixing on my front porch during Beggar's Night...Some fun songs for kids and the adults. However, the temp took a turn this week and instead of typically Fall weather, we dove right into winter and the temp look like they may be close to 32 degrees. Now, I might punt the whole idea at this point because...well, who wants to put in all the work to setup just to freeze your tail off, but it got me thinking about whether using lights (that aren't designated for outdoor use) or things like the ADJ Fog Fury Jett or QSC speakers would be adversely affected by such colder temps? I've always used them during hot days (making sure that they were in the shade and not direct sun) but have never operated gear in the cold weather. Thoughts?

A lot depends on the humidity level. You're basically trying to minimize any dampness condensing and then turning liquid as the pieces heat up. You should be good once they're running, but I would put things out very close to go time to minimize them getting too cool.

I'm still waiting for our illustrious governor to cancel Halloween after I bought candy for like 100 trick or treaters ...
 
I have a set of pumpkin video animations that I've set up the last few years (I have 5 different ones). Assuming no rain, I'm going to do that hooked up to a speaker and maybe a little wireless DMX sound active to my battery powered uplights.

These are awesome! Where'd you get it? And can you whatever songs you want and it will play video accordingly with animation?

I get mine below .. they are sold per song, as the animation is choreographed. You need to show them you own the specific cut of music ..
