silicone spray has no effect on signal strength at all


I'm not concerned about signal strength, I'm concerned about the notion
that silicon is somehow a snow repellent!?

No No No.
It keeps the snow and ice from sticking. Makes it slide out sooner when it
warms up.
I spray the chute of my snowblower with WD-40 before I use it if the snow is
wet and heavy. It keeps it from clogging up the chute. It works.
