I am in Central NY , south of the "snow belt" but we have hade 75" of snow here so far, most of it in a 2 week period. After the first week and about 48" total snowfall I spent a good part of 12/11 getting snow off the roofs where it was the deepest as the weatherman promised a warm day 12/12 and 3/4" of rain. That amount of rain in 2-4" of snow could mean trouble.2 problems usually come from a lot of snow on a roof- too much weight - with risk of damage/collapse, or -usually only a problem in a heated building, ice dam forming along the eaves, which will stop water from running off the roof and can cause it to back up under the shingles and cause leaks . Cleaning snow off 1-2" of eaves usually will help prevent ice dams, getting deep snow off the roof down may be necessary to prevent damage from excessive weight. Around here 1-2" of snow on a roof is not usually a problem weight wise, but the wind often lays alot of snow on one side (usually east side) of a building . Last storm of last winter we had 30" of heavy snow but the back of my folk"s house was 4-5" deep where the front only showed a foot or so, all due to wind.
