The LMB had failed in the cold rather than the dish moving.
A braver man than I went up on the roof and did his thing with the hardware to replace it, and we're back. (I get nervous in thick socks - I've been up there and done it, but the slightest breath of wind and I'm hugging the chimney pots like a frightened squid.)

That surprises me - yes, it was damn cold with the wind chill, but I'd have thought they would be rated to much lower temperatures than we probably got. What's the outside temperature where you are (Australia doesn't count as we'd only get jealous)?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Straw Poll

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
