Pictures of Snow and Dishes

[k4otl]

Got quite a bit of snow here, ~9" cumulatively over a couple days (that's a lot for TN). Should have taken a picture of the 10 footer with the initial snow covering, ~6-8" over 75% of the dish (zilch reception at that point, not even Daystar on 101W). The Ku dishes didn't have too much (other than on the LNBs!), steady reception the whole time, lost C band until I cleared the snow off, twice... Post pics if you got 'em!

I see these dishes as eye-catching beauties.

k4otl Is the motorized Ku band dish enough to catch all birds ? I can't catch some TPs even with my 39" dish

That's most likely due to the weight of the snow throwing off the aim of the dish. I use my battery Ego+ leaf blower to blow off my dish. IF it's super wet, I use an extendable window brush to brush it off.

Been snowing every day for weeks. The pictures don't do justice on how much snow is actually on the ground. The smaller black mesh shows as the snow is dripping off the dish right to what appears to be the ground, when in actuality, during the summer, i can drive my zero turn riding mower underneath the lip of both black mesh dishes.

The nice thing is, its so cold usually during the winter, that our snow is very light and easy to clear.
