Abstract: We show that the quotient of two caloric functions which vanish on a portion of an $H^{k+alpha}$ regular slit is $H^{k+alpha}$ at the slit, for $kgeq2$. In the case $k=1$, we show that the quotient is in $H^{1+alpha}$ if the slit is assumed to be space-time $C^{1,alpha}$ regular. This can be thought of as a parabolic analogue of a recent important result in [DSS14a], whose ideas inspired us. As an application, we show that the free boundary near a regular point of the parabolic thin obstacle problem studied in [DGPT] with zero obstacle is $C^{infty}$ regular in space and time.
