Time for Icicles and Ice Dams

So you think winter is over?

Not yet.  It’s got one or two last hoorahs.

It’s still that time of year for icicles and ice dams.

What can you do to avoid them now?  Nothing, except use a roof rake to reduce the reservoir of snow on the roof slope.  See a few articles about snow removal here:

• Stopping an Actively Leaking Ice Dam
• Please be Careful This Winter!!!
• Chalk Up Another Victory Over Ice Damming

But when the weather warms we can make plans to reduce the risk.  See

• Getting Ready for Winter (Attic Ventilation)
• The Importance of Cleaning Gutters (A Fall Reminder)

Enjoy the soon coming Spring!
