Yes... where it's COLDER and DRIER. The idea would work during a very cold, 
windy storm with powdery snow. Even when it's a calm wind, but powdery snow, it 
can accumulate up to 6" before the dish starts to "notice" it. With wet snow, 
it takes only about 1/2" to knock it right out.

We've had several snows, so far, and only two of them have affected the 
dish... both were a wet, slushy mess with little wind.

You havn't been through our winters very often, have you? ;)
