Who Else Is Getting Ready for Yet Another Nor'Easter Snow Storm?

[pomtzu]

Did you lose the signal because of snow on the dish? Can you reach it, to remove it? We've lost for that reason just twice. It's a pain in the neck, but we hauled a ladder over and used a long handled broom to knock off the snow. Goes to show, we should have had it mounted on a ground post.

We used to lose signal in a heavy rain storm, and we had the same happen with both Dish Network and Direct TV. We went back to cable - better lineup, less money, and we don't lose signal.

It might be clearing - it's brighter out than it was. I can wish I guess.........

Well God loves me the signal came back just in time for The young and the restless LMAO

I guess the snow was just really heavy so the signal couldn't get through because the dish is clean

Just a couple pictures. Brian went out to shovel a new path for the dogs so they could tinkle lol









the roof only had a couple inches left on it from the last storm this is the roof now

Well it's hard to say how much we have total now lol. But up to Brians waist and he wasn't all the way down to the ground... there was still more snow udner his feet. that drift there is probably about 4 feet at least.

The report says we've gotten 13 inches so far and still snowing and now the wind is starting

That's what I said. if we took Hannah out we'd have to tie a rope to her so we don't lose her lol

It's blowing here like a son of a gun; whiteout conditions for sure. I am so sick of hearing/seeing/reading/talking/watching/worrying about the weather I could SCREAM!

WE all need a normal life! This cabin fever stuff is getting real old.

I can't imagine how the folks in Baltimore feel right about now. I survived blizzards there before, but this one is unbelieveable.

We had a break, but it's snowing again. I hope my car doesn't end up being a casualty!!!



ETA: Good news for me! My son and DIL got enough shoveled out in front of my car to move it forward and out of the path of the tree - should it decide to go down. I was sweatin' that one - especially since the car is paid for and it's ALL MINE!

The folks in Baltimore (14 miles from Baltimore, but we work in Baltimore) are pretty darned tired of this, too!
The snow is sideways yet again, the wind is absolutely howling, we've gotten just incredible numbers in snow totals, and I'm just hoping our lovely blue cypress trees can withstand all this. They're rather delicate are weighed down with snow, and this time I can't get to them...

When did you last have satellite? We had DISH about 7 years ago, and most every time it rained, we would lose signals for a short period of time.

We have DIrect now, and rarely lose during rain, and only a couple of short times for snow. The dishes now, at least those of Direct, seem to be much better than the older ones. And even if we should lose the HD channels, the SD are always on.

We went back to cable between the satellites - lousy picture quality; the HD/DVR boxes kept burning out; not enough HD channels.

I will stay with Direct as long as they are the ones with Mega March Madness I wouldn't give that up for anything

[sparks19]

yeah we only lost the signal for a short time. it's been back on for a while now strong and steady

So I just decided to go out and play in the snow LOL. It's up to my belly button in some spots :O I went and jumped into the biggest drift and for a brief moment thought "uhoh... I'm not gonna be able to get out of this" because everytime I put my arms down to push myself up they would sink down lol so I couldn't get any leverage. But as you can see... I made it.

It didn't help that Beezer was so excited by the whole thing that he was right on top of me lol

I'm not sure which is the last one we had - the snow is covering the dish. They leave the dish but take the boxes. It's been a couple of years since we had the dish.

The reason my son dropped them in the end, was because of one of the salesmen. He was quoted a price to upgrade, and then when it came down to the nitty-gritty, said it was an error on his part, and couldn't honor that price. So Steve told him where to put his dish!!! We have 3 t.v.'s on cable (2 on HD), On Demand, both Phila and Baltimore stations and tons of channels, tho he doesn't subscribe to HBO or Showtime, plus the internet too. It comes to a lot less than he was paying for the dish service.
