Yep, we live and we learn. Last year it was making sure I brought in the slides before it rained/snowed so that it didn't turn into a sheet of razor sharp ice. This year, it's bringing up the pads the night before we plan to leave. Thing that really pi**ed me off this morning was that a few days earlier, I DID bring up the jacks. But it started to rain and the coach was a an angle, which let the water slide across the slideout and into the coach. So I brought then down and pushed the coach up to an angle that the water ran off like it should. And I didn't bring them up the next night.Here's a trick I have used successfully to keep the parked snowplow blade skid pads from sticking to the frozen ground. I put some folded plastic grocery bags on the ground under the pads (similar in concept to motorhome jack pads) before I lower them. The pads generally won't stick to the plastic, but if they should, the multiple layers of thin plastic will separate and, if necessary, can easily be torn away.

So anyhow, it's time for a beer.
