Until there's heavy snow or rain.

Not if you have an adequate -rain fade- margin in the system..

There are very occasionally rain storms which are so heavy that there's
no signal whatsoever that gets through them. I've experienced that one.

Oh, and if the snow settles heavily on your dish, there's not going to
be much signal until it thaws or you knock it off. (This happened to me
in early December.)

Well, hello Paul! How's ZN doing these days? I often wonder how Zetland is
progressing.
