Default How To Deal With Heavy Snow On Roof In Maryland

My brother has 20" of snow on a 5/12 roof in Maryland, and rain has been forecasted for Tuesday.

Is the greatest danger from snow weight or from ice damming?

What would be the best strategy for the next 24 hours?

Thank you very much in advance.

If he can clear the two feet nearest the edge it will prevent most of
the damming. They make snow rakes to pull the snow off safely. Of
