BR46 Posted February 22, 2021 Share #1 Posted February 22, 2021 I bet no Texan has to done that Just finished raking my roof this morning. Parts of the roof had over 2 feet of snow on it and we had problems with ice dams before and with temperatures warming up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerrySTL ★ Posted February 22, 2021 Share #2 Posted February 22, 2021 Raking? You should get a snow blower for that job. Just kidding. In fact my snow blower has a warning to not use it on roofs. I wonder why? What possibly could go wrong? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted February 22, 2021 Share #3 Posted February 22, 2021 I was on a conference call when the maintenance staff came to rake the ends of the roof and break off the icicles. I felt like the house was being attacked until I realized what it was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickinMD ★ Posted February 22, 2021 Share #4 Posted February 22, 2021 We had one year with three 20"+ snow storms. That's the only year I can remember raking my roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda like a standing desk, lower it to make it more accessible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is 25 years old and has tires that will chew through any snowdrift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted February 22, 2021 Share #10 Posted February 22, 2021 I don’t have to rake my roof but I do have to deal with these after the gutters fill with ice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheep_herder ★ Posted February 22, 2021 Share #11 Posted February 22, 2021 With temperatures in the 50s and wind gusting to mid-40s mph, what little snow we had will be gone today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
