ICE BE DAMNED

Should I shovel the snow off my roof?
For those of you that are wondering “When should I shovel the snow off my roof?” Here is a quick rule of thumb to help you if you are concerned.
Basic calculation – (for a quick analysis only) This calculation is based on a 25% moisture density which may be conservative for our current snow fall. As a rule of thumb, saturated snow weighs approximately 20 pounds per cubic foot. The moisture content of snow can range from approximately 1% to 33%, which relates to snow potentially weighing from 1 pound per cubic foot to over 21 pounds per cubic foot.
Calculation: S x 1.25 = P where:
S = Inches of snow on the roof (depth)
1.25 = Weight of 1 sq ft of snow for each 1-inch of depth P = Pounds per square foot (lbs/sq ft)
Example: If the snow on my roof is 20-inches deep, what would that equate to? 20-inch roof snow depth x 1.25 lbs/sq ft = 25 lbs per sq ft of roof snow load
In this example the roof would be ok.
NOTE: Any ice build-up on the roof would need to be added to this formula. Add 5.2 lbs for each 1-inch of ice depth.
You can always check your roof snow load by cutting a 1-foot x 1-foot square the full depth of the snow from your roof and weighed in a plastic bag to determine if your snow load is getting close to the design roof snow load of 40 lbs per square foot. This would need to include any roof ice build-up
Older roofs may be of concern .

Please be aware of the potential dangers of shoveling or raking snow from a roof. Besides the potential damage to the roofing materials and structure, there are such factors as a person sliding off the roof, falling off a ladder, overexerting themselves, or injury from snow sliding on top of them.
In summary, the City of Coeur d’Alene does not make recommendations on when to remove snow from roofs. It is up to the individual property owner to consider the benefits and dangers of snow removal and decide their own course of actions. Remember that, as a rule of thumb, saturated snow weighs about 20 pounds per cubic foot and then consider the depth and relative moisture content of your snow and the capacity of your roof structure in making your decision to remove snow or not.

WE DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU REMOVE THESE YOURSELF OR HAVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD KIDS DO IT. WE HAVE SEEN LOTS OF DAMAGE BY OUT-OF TOWN CREWS AND ROOKIES. WE KNOW HIW TO SAFELY WITHOUT HOME DAMAGE TO DO THIS. PLUS WE WILL SAVE YOUR BACK.
