This winter, we have had over 8 feet of snow. Ice dams and roof collapses from the snow and cold have occurred so people have been paying roofers $100-$200 per man hour to shovel their roofs. It is very expensive but it is far cheaper that repairing a collapsed roof, and the work on the icy roofs is very dangerous. This man repeatedly slipped and would have fallen off the roof numerous times but for the rope holding him which was tied to a tree on the other side of the house. AIMG 4731

Blizzard of January 27, 2015. Another foot of snow was yet to come in this storm, followed by another 15 inches of snow in a storm five days later.. AIMG 4642

The blizzard of February 8-9, 2013 dumped two feet of snow in Massachusetts with drifts even higher. I passed by this house the following day and I am happy to report that the man made it all the way to the street. AIMG_2116
