The NOAAport primary uplink is located on the northwestern part of Long Island
(backup site is co-located at a NASA facility southwest of Vienna, Virginia) so
it is definitely snow on their uplink site dish. Wet, heavy snow will do that,
even though I suspect that uplink dish is heated.
They might flip to the backup site if it gets too low, but you still should be
seeing a carrier to noise on the downlink of 17 or better under normal
circumstances.
