To clear or not to clear

With snow, one size does not fit all. Two feet of wet snow will weigh a lot, where the same, but dry snow, weighs much less. My concern is more about the freeze/thaw cycles, more likely toward Spring. The sun thaws from the bottom, causing water to get in the cracks/crannies during the daytime, then refreezes at night. When in the warm temp thaw process, I get on a tall step ladder, and push the snow off with a garage floor broom. If you catch it at just the right time, it just slides right off, and does a pretty good job of cleaning the roof too.
