After the extended storm many of us just lived through it might be a good time to check the cap on your system. Those sustained winds and heavy snow can cool the cap big time.

I've had some trouble in the past. This time I had some ice accumulate that rattled down this am but other than that it looks clear.
 
Good advice for members.

I try to have my stove burning hotter when it's colder outside. Just to make sure my stack temps are around 600 or so. No ice will form on that!
