Hello,
I'm pleased that my first posting to the new forum covers an area with which I am woefully familiar. I agree with the notion of clearing off the snow - it's the main problem. Even clearing it four or five feet back from the edge is a help. Prior to reading the post regarding the use of hot water (brilliant), I was going to suggest just chipping a few vee-shaped gaps in the ice damn. This will at least allow some run-off if it rains in the next few days. I've experienced heavy rain on ice-damned eaves and I assure you it's not pretty. I have vowed that next year I shall purchase a "roof-rake" for the snow build-up - as soon as Canadian Tire puts out its winter stuff - which I believe is actually July 2nd...
Now if only I could buy a CMP or Carrier then I could really interact on this forum... great new format by the way.
