As soon as Mike mentioned condoms I knew this thread was on a downward spiral

Mental note.... steer clear of Mikes 60-250 if it ever comes up for sale

For those with snowed up Sky dishes, it'd be safer and more effective to spray them with a hose pipe. This assumes you have a hose pipe that is not already frozen.

Sub zero temperatures might well cause ice to form too. Better that than a misaligned dish.
Thanks Peter certainly another option but the last time I had to take quick action at around midnight in the cold and really quite heavy snow..... with audience of three indoors waiting for an instant solution

Be a bit careful hurling snowballs at your dish, they rely on a very fine alignment to receive the signal and being knocked offline by a millimetre or so can stop it working!
Thanks Matt, yes I am aware as I aligned ours in the first place they do have a reasonable amount of latitude for signal reception (at least where we are).
In fact they will take a fair amount of abuse (with in reason) and tend bounce rather than move the LNBs / dish position

Hi Mick, welcome to the forum
I'm sure you will be pleased with the K-7, it's one of those cameras that the more you use it the more you like it (for me at least)

Hi JudithAnn, all the advice here is spot on.

I just wonder whether you perhaps mistakenly added the odd zero to your shooting info because as far as I know the K-m is capable of 3200 ISO as a maximum (my daughter has one as you know).

Colourful shot by the way

I guess what you have to remember is that the weather we're currently experiencing in the UK is a bit of a rarity where as in more continental climates it is the norm

Well yes I take your point Stefan, in this case I suspect 'the story' is that the screw has been gently rubbing against the inside of my kit bag while travelling a number of miles over varied terrain mostly in UK and the a little of the South of France
Must admit however I didn't expect it to 'pickup' so quickly though as I take great care over all my kit.
