Storm Clean up?

[ivanputski]

Are you guys shoveling your roofs? we got 28" here in central Ct. It looks like a lot of weight. My concern is ice-dams... also, they are calling for straight rain on monday, and that will make the snow very very heavy on the roof.

Any thoughts?

Ivan,I'll be shoveling my roof tomorrow got 38" where I am in east hartford. The south side of my roof has a huge drift has to be around 4' of snow on there. The rain in the forecast had me worried to. plus that snow isn't light and fluffy stuff as it is.Shouldn't be too bad I shoveled it a few times back when we had that october storm and the year before that. Just have to be smart about it, Don't get within 4' of the edge and there most likely will be some ice forming under the snow already so definetly take that into consideration.

Yeah, here's my thoughts. I shoveled 3 or 4 years ago when we got a ton and then I said to myself "why the F*&^& do I pay for insurance". If it caves in this time I'll get a new roof with those architectural shingles. and Liberty Mutual will pay for it. Check with them yesterday and I'm covered.
