contents In this paper we study the singular set in the parabolic obstacle problem for general obstacles $φ\in C^{2,1}$. We prove that the singular set has parabolic Hausdorff dimension at most $n-1$. Prior to our result, this was only known when $Δφ\equiv -1$. Our approach combines a truncated parabolic frequency formula and monotonicity estimates with an iterative argument showing that the frequency is saturated for all values of the truncation parameter between $2$ and $3$.
