Gusts to 70 mph expected. Weather guy said that snow on roof will
lessen chances of shingles (asphalt, in my case) being lifted. Any
truth to this statement?

Is your snow heavy? Mine is.I doubt whether much snow will be blown off
the roof unless there are constant high wind speeds.
Worse yet is that we have a travel restriction in effect. All
non-emergency travel is prohibited.
My power went out earlier, but I have a generator running but not much
gasoline left.
I was going to go get some in my 4x4 truck but I can't now with the
travel restriction.
Damn those anti-siphon gas tanks.

We had 50" of snow within 4 days. This was a couple of weeks ago. It
probably won't blow off roof. This time, you're getting hammered with
snow. We're expecting only a few inches but monster winds. Power is
still on. House generator will supply power for about two days but
I'm worried about structural damage. Good luck.
