general winter questions...

Any winter campers out there??

Do any of you have a good way of melting snow and ice off of your TMs?? (heat tape?)

Other than the ice pulling paint off, are there any other repercussions to leaving the snow and ice on the TM??
Will the weight of the ice somehow eventually cause the TM to not open and close properly?
We’re talkin’ a lot of snow, Breckenridge Colorado snow, over 4 feet this week…

Has anyone ever used a winter skirt for a TM??

I’m basically just fishing for any TM winterizing ingenuity…

Thx in advance…
