I see everybody doing it, but never thought it was locked as conections are not water tight between plugs and extensions.
But, they are low voltage. Anybody know of any fire risk or risk?

if they say outdoor lights thats what they are for and they are not dangerous

most of today's Xmas lights hold a tiny fuse on the plug in

also, they are designed to be out within the rain/snow

Answers:    These lights are designed for this, and I've never had any trouble running them surrounded by the rain (or sleet, or snow, etc.) I will recognize, though, that I don't run them in one of those massively heavy downpours, (which are usually short lived) or during a freezing precipitation. But normal weather? No problems.
