We get on average 148 inches of snow a season/year.

I have a HughsNet Gen 5 Dish on my roof that is slanted and a DirectTV (AT&T) dish in front of it.

So I have this very long piece of thin lumber with a car snow brush attached to it because when we get hit with a lot of snow, the Dishes get snow on them and everything stops working.

I’m wondering how a Satellite Dish that points straight up will do in heavy snow belts?

My understanding is that the StarLink dish generates enough heat to melt snow/ice.

I've been following the Reddit StarLink list for about six months and don't recall North American users complaining about snow problems. Heavy rain yes.

No problems yet, but this is a year with no snow in winter and no rain in spring. We are dangerously dry with no precipitation in sight.
