Ive had about 4 inches on the surface of a 1.8 similar to that before it lost that tp, its a strong one, though a lot further south than you. Very surprising to be honest, thought it would stop working as soon as it got an inch or two.
 
PM dishes have a much better rain/snow margin than offset.
 
considering my location and the fact its a fortec star i,m amazed!! nothing seems to knock the verticals out!, city 7 on 11976v was still showing 70% when i took that picture
 
Yes, even more amazing in that case,LOL
