I don't use a cover but have removed a lot of snow. These guys that are advocating a leaf blower don't really know what's up with snow. It usually doesn't come down and form a nice fluffy blanket. Chances are that if it sticks on the roof, it's wet and forms ice if left on the roof. I notice that my roof sags after a certain amount of snow load. That's why I remove it, not too concerned with leaks as the roof is sealed well.
I have a couple of roof rakes, one of which I modified so that the blade never touches the roof surface. I installed two small plastic "wheels" onto the outer edges of the rake. The plastic wheels turn on a 1/4" bolt. The bolt is attached to the rake blade with wire rope saddle U-bolts, two per side. I have the wheel height adjusted so that the blade rides 1/4" above the roof surface. No matter how hard I dig the blade into snow, the blade is always above the surface of the roof.
Good luck out there in MA, I know you folks are closing in on the record. For once, MN seems not that bad.
