@@mawile2468 now I have thought of moving to California a few times but unlike california we don't have wild fires or serious earthquakes here. At least I know during a snow storm my house has a better chance of still standing in the morning unlike having a earthquake destroying it. That's not to say people don't lose their homes to snow storms or have roofs collapse because it does happen . But I rather go through a blizzard and know we will probably be fine than have my home destroyed by a earthquake or a wild fire. Anybody's home can burn down at anytime anywhere in this world. Wild fires are a bigger cause than someone. Setting a blaze on purpose or accident . So yes california is better in many ways but they also have just as many natural disaster problems if not more.

He is doing it the hard way. Several You Tube programs show tools for getting the snow off from the ground. They have a U shaped frame with a plastic cloth that you shove under the snow. The frame has a long extension pole attached to it. The snow slides down the plastic cloth in large blocks. Much easier.
@ThatsTheWayWeRoll4 жыл бұрын
We cannot count how many times someone has suggested it (usually someone who sells the tool) and its just as stupid each time we hear it. We are not talking about some light, fluffy, fairy snowflakes here. We are talking about FEET of WET, HEAVY snow that has compacted down under its own weight. So, before you recommend something you know nothing about, and tell someone who has lived it how you know how to do it better, realize that maybe you don't have a clue. Because you don't.

@ThatsTheWayWeRoll6 жыл бұрын
Thank you for the attitude compliment. It is appreciated! There actually ARE very tough codes on the books. For example: A few decades ago, there were numerous problems concerning roofs that collapsed under the weight of the snow. So, new laws WERE passed. You can no longer have more than, I think, 3 layers before you have to do a "total tear off, before you can add any more roofing. But the roof itself was NEVER our concern. HERE WAS THE REAL ISSUE: The main structure of this home is 111 years old. And we never gave one thought, or worry, to the main structure, whatsoever! The room we are talking about was added somewhere in the 1970's, which was long before we purchased the home. And, therefore, we had no idea what the codes were at that particular time. We weren't here when that addition was added. Our concern was how that one story addition was tied into the main structure!!! Which was very questionable! Was it done correctly? Or not? If it wasn't correctly tied into the main structure of the house...we could have had a really BIG problem.( Like our neighbors did.) So, we had to remove as much weight as possible to alleviate the strain, hoping that room would not pull away (like theirs did).

We promised that the first thing we would buy them would be....a snow blower! Last week, he asked us about the weather forecast. We actually couldn't answer him because, unless they say something like "2 FEET of snow by morning", we don't pay any attention. During this past week alone, we went from snow on the ground, to 2 days of higher temps and rain - which melted that snow, followed by falling temperatures which, of course, produced ice and then that was capped off by about a foot of new snow. Unless there is a major forecast, we don't even pay attention to it all. But, forewarned or not, the weather here in Western New York can always bring surprises. Thanks for sharing our video with your son and his friends! We enjoyed hearing that.

I don't think your roof has enough pitch to it to make a metal roof work. We had a cabin in the mountains of Washington State and we put a metal roof on it and the snow just slide right off.
@ThatsTheWayWeRoll6 жыл бұрын
We agree that, under the right circumstances, metal roofs are great! (We had one on our home in Virginia but, of course, we didn't have to worry about heavy snow there. They are nice, though.) In this particular situation, it was the only time in the 25+ years that we've been in this home that we had to worry about it. Last time we had snow that serious was in the "Blizzard of '77". Both were historic storms and will always be remembered. Thanks for posting. It's always enjoyable to read a nice, friendly, sensible comment!

Apparently you don't live where they sell and use snow shovels. That's how they are. Plastic blades with a strip of metal across the edge of the front. The curved-blade rectangle style he's using is a very popular style, but some people prefer the ones with the square, flat blade. The blades are made of heavy plastic to keep the weight down. In above-freezing temperatures, wet snow can be very, very heavy, so saving weight is important (every winter we hear stories on the local news of older people dying of heart attacks while shoveling snow).

We certainly don't get that much snow on a regular basis. We get snow on and off throughout every winter, but snow of that magnitude only happens every few years. But, when it does, it does! As a matter of fact, a month after that storm, we had NO snow - just green grass for Christmas. (Mother Nature has a sense of humor.) Just the other day, I asked my husband what the snow forecast was. He said, "2-4". I said, "2-4 feet?" "No. 2-4 inches." "Oh. Ok." And we laughed. You become conditioned to it.

If this were a "new build", then yes, that would be an excellent suggestion. But, this room was built in the 1970's - long before we moved here - and was added on to a home that was originally built in 1906. So, there is no way it could structurally be done now. (And, yes, it can be dangerous.) But thank you for the comment and suggestion. (Good ideas are always welcome!)

How about something with a long handle and a 'blade' feature at the front. If you put it up against the exterior of the house you could pull it back toward the edge of the roof. I've seen similar snow rakes used in places like Alaska. The roof pitch is different there, but there has to be something made to help you out.
@ThatsTheWayWeRoll6 жыл бұрын
In reality, no. First, there is fresh snow. Then, more snow is added on top. Between the heat of the room below combined with the fresh fallen snow, the underlying layer begins to be compacted. You have a repeated pattern of compacted snow and fresh, light snow. There are layers of snow that crush down and compact the snow underneath. Then, more new snow is added on top. The pattern repeats. And some of the layers of snow become heavier and denser. Before you know it, you are looking at 7 feet of light/heavy, light/heavy layers. And a tremendous amount of weight on your roof!There are all kinds of companies who manufacturer "snow roof rakes". I'm sure they would help to clear your roof if you only have a few inches of fresh, newly fallen snow. In the way ours occurred, they'd be totally useless. If we could invent a miracle product that would be able to remove all the snow under these particular conditions, we'd both become millionaires! In the meantime, the best product to use in this situation is still the good, plain old-fashioned snow shovel!

@ThatsTheWayWeRoll6 жыл бұрын
Good questions. Everybody has a snow blower. If you know a big storm is on its way, you can't wait for it to end to start clearing it. You have to try to keep at it and plow over and over again while it's still snowing. Everyone owns heavy duty winter gear (parkas, etc.) As for being stuck home, you have to be prepared: plenty of food and basic necessities (meaning DON'T forget the toilet paper while stocking up!!!) The key is to be prepared, as much as you possibly can. As for damage to the house: not normally. We had to do the roof that you see in the video because it was an "add-on" room. Since it was put there by a previous owner, we weren't sure if it was done properly (how well it was tied-in to the main structure) and couldn't risk the room pulling away. (Our neighbors were stranded out of town. While they were gone, they had a room pull away by the weight of the snow.) Just out of curiosity, what part of the world do you live in?

So, whenever there is snow in the local forecast, "If I had my way..." shares that with us because we know how eagerly anticipated it is. (And his/her comments are always welcome and enjoyed.) Our reply meant we've had it nice but eventually Mother Nature will catch up with us once again. It is NOT nonsense. "Later" doesn't mean imminent. "Later" doesn't mean next year.
