Snow on the roof

    As a younger guy we used to use our roof as a snow board ramp. What a blast those days were. Now I’d feel it for a week or better

    We had a very long machine shed at a farm we rented. It was probably about a 60-70 foot run down a 2 or 3/12 pitch, with a 9 foot drop. Always plenty of snow at the bottom for soft landings.

    Well I started seeing the beginnings of some ice dams on my roof, so today after work, after cleaning out the driveway, sidewalk, etc, I got the ladder and snow rake out. Of course it comes off the roof and lands in the worst possible places so after all that I get to shovel it all again. 3 solid hours of snow removal. This boy is tired.

    And when it comes off the roof and lands in a driveway or sidewalk, It is like a pile of concrete to remove, I remember well

    And that’s when the ATV with plow comes in handy!

    Neighbor died from falling off his two story house…on Christmas day.

    Id use a snow rake to clear the edges if you have issues with leaks or ice damns…otherwise I’d leave it.
