Soggy wet stuff sitting on the dish face absorbs the signal very effectively.

Fluffy dry snow doesnt cause too many problems.

Nary a single flake down here - you can keep the stuff. Very unseasonal IMHO.

My dish is still working OK the snow hasn't effected it.

The conservatory gutters have been stripped off. Goodness knows what will happen when the snow on the house roof decides to fall on it!

Wish me luck!
