Question about The Planet 100.1 FM ...

I was listening to The Planet last night on my way home from work. It was coming in pretty good and I was enjoying the tunes. I left it on the dial in the car and then in the morning, I could barely get the station in at all. It was virtually total static. Does anyone know why?

it could have been a number of things. Doing Tower Work, Ice on the transmitter, DX(atmospheric radio skip/bounce) I hope someone can answer this question.
 
I spoke with an employee today about this and was told there were no issues they were aware of. If I had to pick the most likely reason there might of been some ice on the antenna and the transmitter throttled back on the power a bit to deal with the increased VSWR. But that's just a guess.

It could be ice. It gets cold up there on Tenney Mountain! Where were you listening from?
 
I was listening to it from the Hooksett toolbooth to Concord, up on Rattlesnake Hill. In the morning, I couldn't pick it up at all on my morning commute south.
