Excellent question, Chuck. Mine has been through a winter ice storm with
absolutely no problems, here at 7500 feet in the Rockies. Here's a picture
of my SteppIR after the storm:

The antenna bounced right back. Should the ice/snow de-tune the antenna,
you can modify the element lengths to get it back in tune. Another nice
feature. A friend has one in Alaska - works like a champ.
Thus far, they seem to handle various climates without a problem.
