I've noticed that headlights tend to burn out more often in cold weather.
When the lights are switched on, the filament changes temperature too
quickly and breaks from the stress. 

Now, NC isn't exactly known for its cold weather. On the other hand, it
has been awfully wet lately. I don't know if wet weather could produce
the same effect, but it seems that it might.
