Default Wil the Snow stop my Sky+ installation?

Getting Sky+ installed on Wed, now given the forecast of a really
quite severe snow storm on Tuesday night do you think it is likely
they will cancel installation?

After waiting nearly a month it will be *highly* irritating to have
to wait another few weeks...

I am in East Anglia so we are not likely to get it as bad so hopefully
it`ll get installed with no problem.

as long as it is safe for them to do it, you should get a great setup
because they will have to line up the dish spot on if the signal is reduced
due to snow.

When it snowed at new years eve my normal sky stopped working until the snow
melted from the dish the next day, too high to access it for cleaning!

my engineer was self employed, got that sky+ for £100 deal installed
yesterday (2nd sky+ box), turn's out to be a new v1 box ;o) he was out on
ladder and it was cats & dogs, dripping wet when he came back in. I asked if
he would be out in snow and he said yes, he had to as its money.

& $ky make it up as they go along, engineer installed it & ring's sky to
activate recording feature's. he then says "where you aware its a extra £10
a month for 2nd box (1st sky+ box is free, 2nd sky+ box is £10 a month), err
no he said as long as I had 2 premium channels it was free, goes away and oh
yes that's another deal, that's ok pffft
