Jingle Bells!!!... In August?

This afternoon, for the first time, our Direct TV couldn't find the satellite signal.  I've been told that this usually happens when snow builds up in the dish on the house.

  It wasn't exactly snow, but some might wonder if I am posting old photos from last winter.

Well, since it's August, it's pretty obvious that's hail.  Poor Shadow dog was really freaked out.  This house has lots of windows and the hail was really banging on them HARD.
