If you live in an area known for snow-filled winters, like New Hampshire is, chances are you've had to clear snow off your roof.
This past week had been a strange weather pattern. From rain, to snow, warm temperatures, and below freezing temperatures. The snow on roofs has been building, melting, and refreezing. We are expecting temperatures around 40 plus degrees with 2-3 inches of heavy rain!
What does that mean for the snow on your roof? Well, if it has not melted off, the snow will act as a sponge and retain all of the water. This means a heavy load of soaking wet, heavy snow sitting on your roof.
While I do not recommend you shovel the snow off the roof yourself if you are not capable, I do think it is very important to get it done professionally, or by family or friends. Removing the excess snow now, may save your roof from ice dams, and potentially from leaks inside the house.
