Ice and snow induced dipole sag is highly desirable as an incentive to get on air and start running RF into your antenna to burn off all that ice and snow.  It's Mother Nature's way of promoting amateur radio.  One OM's opinion.

I miss living in northern New England... until I remember the shoveling in winter.
