I've got to agree with the post suggesting a heat source inside of the barn, provided there is enough pitch to the roof for the snow and ice to run off. If you were close to me down here in NC I'd let you borrow the heater I've got behind the shop. It's a 600,000BTU Master jet heater and I'm here to tell you it throws out some serious heat. I've had it setting nearly 15 feet outside of my 30x40 shop animed in through a 8x12 roll up door on a day when it was below freezing and you could work in the shop in shirt sleeves. If you could introduce that much heat inside the barn for a few hours it would definately heat the underside of the roof enough to lessen the hold the ice/snow has on the roof. Remember it doesn't have to get "hot" inside or make the rood hot, all it has to do is get it just above 32 degrees. Worst case it would make it easier to wash it off with a power washer. Personally if it was the choice of losing the barn or spending a little cash at a rental store I'd get the BIG heater and possibly hot water pressure washer and have at it. You might be cold, wet, and mkiserable when done, but I'll bet you'd be alot more miserable if the barn came crashing down.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
