In February of 2010 we got two large snowfalls. The first was 24 inches and the second 8 inches. The winter of 2010 set the record for the largest total snowfall for our area. Since the duration of signal loss was determined by when I got outside to clear the snow off the dish I decided not to include it in the signal loss totals. This is a picture of the dish after the first snowfall. This snow was very sticky. Normally I don't need to clean the snow off the dish. Even with the snow We were still getting a few channels with poor picture.
