Gutter Guards? I don't have but a neighbor does: they too grow plenty of LONG icicles!

 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

It's going to be a good year for roofer$.
ecduzitgood, my roof looks just like yours, but on a white house. I just painted the living room and ceiling, if water starts pouring in I'm going to puke.

Thanks - everyone I showed is amazed at how "Zen" I'm taking it - it's only a bathroom ceiling . . . things can be replaced.
Lot's of work to do this weekend to clear the snow off the roof

Not that this will help Gloucester, but if you get a leak in the ceiling, drive a nail or screw into the spot where you first see the water. Open the hole up a little bit and leave the nail there. You want to attract all the water to one spot so you can control/catch it, and to keep it from running all over the upperside of the ceiling.

on the JOB
i remember this Lady askin me to come see her ceiling
and i freaked and ran to get a trash can that didn't leak
the ceiling was about to burst
couldn't believe how much water was up there
it was holding it like a swimming pool
as they watched i jammed a long screw driver
into the belly of the beast
and water shot straight down almost filling that barrel
in my opinion you need a full metal wide piece of flashing
followed by peel and stick as your first layer of shingle
then put the original color back on over those
consider buying the heating element too
