Stop in for a cup of coffee

Until now. Im the only one in my house capable of de-icing the dish. Climb old tv antenna, step onto roof covered in wet snow and walk uphill 8 feet to the dish. Pour hot water onto dish. Done. Getting down was just as sketchy. Whole time these words keep going through my mind “this is stupid”

Yeah not good. Surprised they don't go the with the "sphere" solution in areas with heavy snow load
