Fox after the snow.

A few months ago I installed a 4-bay Channel Master antenna on my roof. As a result I've been able to receive Fox on a reliable basis (more or less).  But since last weekend's snow, all I get is "no signal" for Fox.  Does anybody know if the snow is the probable cause of this or has anyone experienced the same thing?  I live near 84th and Wisconsin.  Thanks.

My antenna is in the attic.  Since the snow I have experienced some reception problems.  Oddly 4-1 is no longer available to me.  6-1 has disappeared, but that is no surprise.  18-1 is spotty, but that isn't surprising either.  All the other stations have solid signals.

Starving -- Have you tried to rescan to get 4.1?
When we changed the PID numbers on our video and audio a few weeks ago many of us Samsung users had to do rescan.

No, I haven't tried a rescan.  Your digital station comes in occasionally.  Maybe it is too powerful of a signal?  I don't know if snow on the roof would make it too powerful?  Or even what the symptoms are of "too much antenna" for a given signal.  I suppose I could try a rescan and see if anything changes.
