Thanks fo rthe relpies, let me try to clarify. I want the snow to
slide off the roof before it turns to ice. We have cathedral ceilings
with no chimney. I suspect heat is the culprit. The roof is only 5
years old, pretty steep, and and pretty smooth. I just need a way to
get the snow off after each storm.
