Yes. Lancaster ice storms cause a few problems our techs know well. Primarily: 1) Seals bonded to concrete floors, 2) bent tracks on doors that were forced open against the resistance of the seal, and 3) openers that burned up a drive gear while running against the resistance of the seal that had been opened forcibly against it.
