And dish sucked when it was cloudy so if it has to rain to lose signal then I will be miles ahead. Being how we get 8" avg annual rainfall here haha.
Although we did have more combined snowfall here last year than Chicago, NYC and St. Paul / Minneapolis combined. That is saying alot being how I live in the desert.

morning everyone... 
found the blown fuse since on the way home it was dark and i realized that none of my illumination on any accessories were working. (heated seats, radio, climate controls, etc.) anyway, there is a small 10amp mini fuse that controls the "small light" that was blown. Funny thing was it was reading continuity (always the first test i run and if i find nothing i go back and test voltage at each fuse terminal) so i went back and tested and one side of the fuse was reading 12v (battery side) and the other side (output) was reading like 1.235 volts. clearly blown but not according to the continuity test. Replaced, and everything works again 
YAY!!

The real question is "Why did the fuse blow in the first place?"

It was getting dark, it was being killed by mosquitoes and I have shaky hands. 
My cuts didn't turn out very well.
