![]() On Mon, 14 Jun 2021 02:13:27 -0700 (PDT), posted for all of us to digest... On Monday, June 14, 2021 at 2:58:16 AM UTC-4, Clare Snyder wrote: Up here in the "interlaken" area of ontario where John and I live you can have wild temperature swings - moderate weather, a quick short thaw, and then drop to the cellar -as cold as -4F and lower for a few days - with intense sun that melts snow on dark roofs while the air temp stays sub-zeroF. That splits downspouts, particularly if the exit is covered in ice. Sub zero F is not common - but happens - and it doesn't need to be that cold to cause problems. You can split a downspout with weather in the teens or twenties F - the colder the faster the downspouts freeze and when you have clear skies it can be REALLY COLD yet have very strong sun causing thawing and freezing at the same time Not too different from Michigan, although we don't get as much really cold weather. Just enough different, it would seem. Once we get a good layer of snow on the roof, it takes a lot of warm weather to melt it. Cindy Hamilton Also indicates good insulation. -- Tekkie |
