Try it. That's the only way to find out how well it works for you. Do you have software to monitor holdover? My TBolt antenna is inside, one ceiling under a similar roof. It switches into holdover several times a day. I think it happens more often when the roof is wet but I don't have numbers to back that up. No snow here so I can't comment on that. Part of my problems may be reflections (multi-path) from nearby buildings. -- These are my opinions.
