so, one of the downsides of satellite TV is rain-fade; if the storm is strong enough, you don't get signal, and, well, no tv for a few minutes. Doesn't happen very often, but, during very bad thunderstorms, you get it.
Came home from work Monday night...no tv...satellite signal is low. It's snowing, but, not all that hard. Call Directv, go out and look at the dish, and there's a light layer of wet snow that's stuck to the dish...it's been 2 winters with dish, so, first time in that long that this has happened. But, no tv until the snow is removed.....
So, really can't go out on the roof to clean it off....what do you do?
Answer: go to the garage, get one of the super soaker water guns the children have spent the summer soaking me with, go up to the bathroom window, fill the gun with hot water, and shoot the dish (20' out) until the snow drops off.
Problem Solved!
