Think about clearing snow off your roof!

MAXUM · 02-02-2015, 09:23 AM

I was out at my camp this past weekend clearing my roof of snow. Although it doesn't seem like there is a whole lot of snow out there, what is there is pretty heavy assuming no drifting has occurred due to the high winds of late.

I had about 15" on my roof but of that there were several layers of fairly thick ice crust mixed in between the snow layers that weighed a ton. With another foot or so falling today that will put quite a load on everyone's roof especially if we get any rain or warm weather.
