Did it need to be done "

@Nuked4Every1 Yes. Snow is heavy af

@Nuked4Every1 Heavy definitely.

the snow would actually insulate the roof better and keep the house warmer

That's a very interesting point...

Yes. 👏 I watched a huge Lowe’s Box Store collapse under the weight of snow in 1993. It completely flattened it.

That must have been something to see.

Insane. We got so much snow that day. I was in Virginia across the street from the Lowe’s in Christiansburg. The store’s roof fully collapsed on March 13 under 20–24 inches of snow. It was closed, so no one was injured, but it buried inventory and led to weeks of repairs.

Yes for structural inegrity n No, as an ice barrier can be a good insulator like an Eskimo igloo... 🤔

Understand.

@1mZerOCool Yes, if don’t want your roof to collapse

@1mZerOCool Seriously.

@MLimpact0804 Almost that time again.

@MLimpact0804 👍

In Norway, we use snowcatchers on the roof to PREVENT the snow from moving. These are small fences on the roof. The roof can take a lot of weight, for a modern roof the volume is not a problem. But the movement of the snow can ruin the entire house.

doesn't matter about the need to be done, this looks so cool!

Yes, because the weight of the snow makes the roofs collapse. That’s why they do it.

Some of these are unbelievably satisfying to watch!

Satisfied VIDEO

Homemade avalanches…

@greyman7107 Yes.

It can't be overstated how much I don't miss having to shovel snow off a roof, or a jobsite. Nothing like showing up to your site, only to shovel for 5 hours in freezing temps so you can work for the next 3 days, till another snowstorm hits. Love my 🌴🌴!...

Great 👍 story.

Winter's coming.

Exactly.

@its_The_Dr I used to do that at my upstate NY house after heavy snow. It saves the roof.

Super satisfying!!

This is why I live in California.

ايش فيه 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for the reminder❄️😱😥 😁

Snow can be helpful insulating a structure, provided there isn't much heat escapement that can lead to ice dams and leaks. That said, it can also take a building down if too much accumulates, or it rains on snowpack and the load goes beyond the engineered max static psf.

Admit it, you've done this. I have and it felt worth it!

i love snow

It's pretty heavy. You don't want your roof collapsing.

I dont think I would survive in places like these. How cold does it even get in some of these places? I complain when it's between 10 - 15 degrees outside. I would not get out of bed in such weathers.

Often, yes. Roofs can’t hold infinite weight of snow.

yes because the weight could destroy the roof and the roof collapse

You have to shovel the snow off the roof to much weight. Also a good rule of thumb if you have to stand on the roof. Remove two to three times your own weight. Before standing on the roof.

@CoopandKCmom To the next level

If you’ve solar panels??

Killed a lot of people, especially since we got big roofs like supermarkets. I bet Plainly Difficult has vids on it? @Plainly_D

When that snow drops to the ground, it compacts and gets dense Done it many times

Actually yes it does need to be done

Moved from Wisconsin to Florida 20 years ago - this video gives me PTSD.
