Winter has arrived. Are you expecting a lot of snow during the freeze this week or blue skies

Frame is very strong and stood up to a lot of snow in Sarnia. With a good shrink wrap it's pretty bulletproof. I really botched the wrap this year, but it's holding together. Bigger problem where I am this winter is wind. NE funnels in along the waterfront and it can get pretty violent when a front is coming through.

High overcast or sunny skies during cold snaps.
Our 4' in a day snowfalls happen as cold interior air avalanching to the coast (gusting to 45 knots today) starts to slow down and a moist system from the Pacific rides over top of it.
Kitimat and Bella Coola are at -17C this morning, Stewart is -16C...all three are located at the ends of long channels into the Coast Mountains. Prince Rupert, nearer the outer coast, is -8C.
Anybody have a tip for frozen sliding wood pilothouse doors, the kind that run in a track at their base? Took about 5 minutes to tease it open yesterday. I keep fuel for the alcohol stove in a box on the aft deck...would a small pour into the track work, I wonder?
