I have flown through dry snow over the Great Lakes that completely
desensed the receivers in the airplane - and this was a plane equipped
with static discharge wicks... Rising noise to a roar, big discharge
POP, receiver back on line for about 3-5 seconds until the rising roar
blocks it up again- total cycle 15 to 20 seconds, only able to hear ATC
for 3 to 5 seconds out of that... Not fun at O'dark thirty, it is 10F
outside, you won't survive a ditching into the water, and your VOR
receiver can't tell you where Windsor is...

Yes, I believe in P-Static...
