RE: [TCML] Running a TC in snow

["Aron Koscho" <kc5uto@xxxxxx>]

I've run a 12in system in driving rain making 12' arcs. It had no
problems until the SRSG got went and flashed over the base. This
eventually caused a carbon track but that was our fault for not turning
it off:)

Would it be dangerous to run a Tesla coil whilst it was snowing if said
coil's primary circuit were completely insulated from water and snow?
The only thing that I'm sure of being dangerous in such a setup is water
dripping from the top-load down to the secondary and causing racing
sparks. Also, possibly the arcing of streamers to the primary coil due
to the water further decreasing air-resistance.
