For all I know, this has happened every time we've had a frost.
It just happened that I was having a visitor to look at the obs today so I thought I'd go up and open everything up.
The slider mechanism and drive are greased, but what froze was the cover overlap- my shutter is a barn door style, and the dew got under the flap and froze it solid. It was -2.3 in the dome room at 6.30am
Everything had thawed by 10.00 when my visitor arrived.
A lot easier to deal with than wading through 30cm of snow at Eagleview!
