Meridian sits in the middle of the valley floor, which means it gets the full inversion effect with none of the elevation that lets the Boise foothills poke above it. Winter here is stagnant air, settled particulate, and a lot of closed-up houses with interior glass quietly getting worse.
When the inversion sets in, the air over Meridian stops mixing for days at a time. Everything suspended in it gradually falls out onto surfaces, glass included. There is no storm and no splash, just steady accumulation, which is why windows look worse in February than they did after the last rain in November.
Houses are sealed for months with heating running. Cooking film, dust, and general indoor haze build on the inside of the glass, and that is the surface people actually look through from November to March. It is unaffected by outdoor temperature, so it can be scheduled whenever.
Lights that stay up past the season become a roof and gutter problem, since clips and wire trap debris and hold moisture at the roof edge. Takedown is easier scheduled than remembered, and it pairs with a look at how the gutters came through the freeze.
Below freezing, exterior water work is not offered. Water freezes in tracks and on glass, sills take damage, and ladders on ice are a genuine safety issue. We schedule around temperature rather than pretending it does not matter.

Inversions trap particulate over the valley floor and it settles gradually onto glass. It is accumulation from still air rather than weather.
Only when temperatures allow. In a hard freeze we reschedule rather than run water on glass.
Yes, it is arguably the best time. Interior work is unaffected by cold and interior film is at its worst with the house closed up.
Yes. Leaving them up past the season traps debris at the roof edge and holds moisture in the gutter line.
