Snow load

Catching up on TWC and the snow belt mess this afternoon and they gave some interesting info re snow load. There is usually at least one post re "should I or not" every year, so here it is early....unless you're in Upstate NY and you already know. Take a 1 square foot area and put 3" of snow on it and it weighs approx. 60#. Figure the square footage of your home/garage/TT and it's a bunch of weight. So definitely the answer is yes, if you can do it safely....and often if necessary. If you're already under that 5' that's there now, suggest you skip the cleaning and just call insurance. Best of luck to all in that mess...."fond" memories of winter east of Cleveland.
