Using Slides in Freezing Weather
I read somewhere that slides can be damaged if used in freezing temperatures. I need some clarification here! Thank you.

I've had it freeze up and snow build up over night with the slide out.
Brushed off the loose stuff and moved the slide in. Didn't want to fool with the stuck-on frozen stuff 'cause of the rubber roof of the slide.
The interior warmth eventually loosened the remaining ice on top, and I could clean it up easily from inside.
The top wiper seals don't appear to be damaged by moving it in with the ice on top, probably because the roof of the slide is tilted, it drops lower as the slide is brought in putting more distance between the roof ice and the wipers. Another good reason for an angled slide roof I guess.
