We've had a little snow in Denver over the past couple days, and this is what I woke up to this morning. 119 was completely gone, but was still getting signal in the 20's on 110 and 129 conus and 45 on the 129 spotbeam. I must have had a great tech put this dish up.
The benefits of proper dish alignment

Yeah, because snow in Denver, Colorado means that global warming was a complete hoax!
I get way more snow than that and it usually works. The trick is...does it work when it starts melting? That's when it gets dense.
I find that it can snow all night with no problem...even Wildblue works fine. But an hour or two after the sun comes out, everything goes dead.

my solution:
I have tall oaks in my yard, so my dish is 35' high off the top of my chimney, so the only time I get issues is heavy wet sticking snow, so I have an old 18" single lnb I have at ground level pointed at 61.5.

I was in Denver during one its worst snow storms (practically a blizzard, and I lived in Chicago for a year during the 2nd worst ever snow storm), and I have to say that your photo and associated "pains" are exactly why I live in Los Angeles
. I am so spoiled here; I'll never had to wake up in the morning and have to go out, before breakfast, and clear-off the dish, in my jammies. . A lot of former residents of snow prone cities here in LA say they can't imagine EVER going back to live like that LOL! I hope it all melts so you don't have to clear it off.
I remember that blizzard well. (I went to the U!) That 27" was exactly my inseam at the time. I had to hop up and down above the snow line while walking to class. Every time I landed I got a cold jolt to jump back up again.
Yeah but when LA slides into the ocean, you're dish wont be working then. lolI was in Denver during one its worst snow storms (practically a blizzard, and I lived in Chicago for a year during the 2nd worst ever snow storm), and I have to say that your photo and associated "pains" are exactly why I live in Los Angeles
