When we get snow here in Virginia, I turn my dishes down to 139w and most of the snow will fall out of them, except for that Raydx dish. That thing is a really deep dish and it will collect a bunch of snow that I have to clean out with a broom. We got 11 inches back last winter and I just knew that Raydx was going to get damaged from the extra weight, but, it seems to have survived............... this time.
