Roof "clearing"-snow

All my childhood I lived in a snowy place, but I have never, NEVER experienced the kind of snow that requires a person to scrape snow and ice off the roof!

And while I appreciate our neighbor bringing over their ladder so my husband can get the snow off the top of our second story house, I will push over their ladder if they wake up the baby!  I need her to sleep until noon so I can work and be ready for my 12:45 staff meeting.

  • I have lived here for most of my life and I don't remember my parents ever clearing our roof, but DH has become a champ at it!

  • We have video of my dad clearing the roof in like...1988. And in the video he is moving the ladder and puts it through a bedroom window.
  • I keep worrying that we should do this to our porch roof, but we don't have anywhere to put the snow!

    Did you send this in to Funniest Home Videos?

  • Shuga, that's hilarious!  We avoided a ladder through the window but my husband reports there was also a crow bar involved. I hope that groundhog was right.

  • We never did this growing up either, but it's something we need to do on our current roof, but haven't gotten around to it yet.  Last year my mom's roof did leak because of it but it was an old roof.  She ended up replacing it with a metal roof which is great because it all slides off, but it slides off right onto her front porch so now she has a HUGE wall of snow on her porch.
