My wireless works great even if the antenna is fully buried in snow. In fact
it is 50% buried right now and there aren't any packet losses. I am 1 mile
from the site though and using a 15dbi dish. I was told our system is
running 1w output. It is the 2.4g though. The links between sites are 5.8g.

It happens.

My home is too far from the CO for DSL, nor is there cable
service.  I access the Net using a part 15 wireless LAN bridge
to my office, about 2.3 miles away, where there is a leased
line connection.

There are already enough ugly antennas here, so I used the
smallest practical -- an 18-inch "wireless cable" grid dish.
Unfortunately, this gives only about 8 dB operating margin
at 2.4 GHz (the Tx is a whopping 50 mW).

So when it snows hard, I can't get or send any email!
