Thanks for the responses. I think part of the problem is that our weather has been hovering around that 30 degree mark so during the day the snow melts/blows and at night everything freezes up. Now that we got 8 inches on the ground the temperature will stay colder so I'm hoping this problem will pass.

This is my first winter owning a hot tub and I've been having problems with my latches freezing. I believe some snow melts on the lid and sides and it runs down the latches since they hang lower than the skirt. Eventually the water gets far enough from the lid and freezes up on the latches. Due to my deck being within a couple inches of the side of the hot tub I don't have a lot of room to work to get them unfrozen and to try to prevent them from freezing. Has anyone else had a problem with their latches freezing or anyone have an idea on how to prevent this? Thanks in advance!
