Weather related issue?

Could my dish be covered with snow causing my Internet to be out for 2 days. I did a connectivity test and it says everything is good. I don't understand why it is not working.

    Absolutely. Snow on a dish can greatly diminish the signal. The wetter the snow, the worse it is. Even a thin coating of the sloppy stuff can completely disrupt the signal.

    Yes. Snow and/or ice block the signal. You can brush the snow off (gently) and your internet should work again.
