It pays to get the snow off the 1st 2 feet of the roof. I have a snow
rake and get about 4 feet off. But assuming most of you southerners
don't have it.

Take a broom and try to get the 2 feet at the bottom of your roofs
cleared. It may save you lots of money in rotted wood, or your shop if
you have a basement shop.

Years ago the ice damn caused a lot of water to run inside the house and
it travelled the joists and soaked a lot of wood and also rusted a lot
of stuff.


A good idea. I'm one of the ones in a city ill prepared for two inches
of snow.

Here they don't even require tar paper, let alone ice damn membrane. Not
sure how well the membrane works, but I had it put in.

I've got a truck across the street that slid backwards and wedged itself
in between a phone pole and a cement wall. Almost no damage now, but I
imagine that won't be the case when it is pulled out!

Southerners do not understand ice and snow. I hear a car at this very
moment gunning the engine trying to move.
