if earlier in the day means around 1 pm EDT it was working fine here from Toronto. Even the Uruguayan mux that uses 8PSK was working fine If I bumped that motorised dish slightly as usual. maybe there was either heavy rain or clouds somewhere in your path on another city , that SAT is so low in the sky for your state (9 degrees I beleive Iceberg who lives in the same state posted once) that the chances of a storm on another city in the path affecting you are higher.
