Hi kb,

Welcome to the group. I'm in Massachusetts; sometimes we even get the 
same weather. I'll leave this question to those with similar pads 
and/or troubles. But how old is the pad?  If it's a few years old, 
it's possible that the rim switch is shot. I imagine that the snare 
is well out of warranty; you could open it up and see if anything 
gives. Take a look first at OGD's pictures of the TP's insides in the 
Photos section for a guide to the layout. If everything was working 
fine for a while until now, chances are that you won't find a 
solution in the module's settings. Let's see what other people 
suggest.
