Default Snow on the roof

I keep an eye out on my neighbors places during the Winter. I remember how I used to worry about the dock, the roof, the trees,...etc. when I lived away from the Lake.

While the last snow was heavy, it didn't seem to stay on the roofs. I guess the high winds blew it off before it could mount. Any way the snow level on unheated roofs that I have seen is about 12 to 16 inches at the most. Most roofs have much less.

Typically I will shovel or rake them if needed but it has not been needed this year. The forcast is for warm temps. this week and maybe a bit of white stuff over the weekend. My gut feeling is that it is time to put the snow machines away and start getting the boats ready! Woo-Hoo!
