Here in DC, it hasn't snowed a whole lot this winter. But yesterday, as I was looking out my office window at the blooming azaleas and dogwoods, I found a virtual tour for a hugely expensive house, and there was snow on the ground from - last December?
Even the ice bridge to Erid Kodner's Madeline Island has melted! So it's time for us to melt the ice on or winter vitural tours, especially if we live someplace where everyone really remembers that day it snowed way back when!
On the east coast, it's a great time to update exterior photos because the houses actually look better than usual! A flowering dogwood or azalea bush helps curb appeal almost as much as a coat of fresh paint!
In the case of the old virtual tour I was thinking of showing, that picture said more than a thousand words about how long the place has been on the market!

Here in the mountains there might be reason to pause on removing the snow-photos...I'm not putting my gardenia back outside for another month!...but not in DC!...and you are so on point with what those out-of-date photos say ...
Patricia, great post and I agree....updating ones virtual tours so they are in season is a must. A good reminder.
Gary, not only is there no snow, but the vigetation is just beautiful!
Melody, just get that little camera out and go to town!
Patty & Scott, we all know that some times of the year are the most flattering, but it's not even great to have July photos with the azaleas in bloom - after the grass is burnt to a brown crisp!
