Re: 3 feet of snow on the roof
Wallace, I don't think you will have any damage from the snow load on the roof. Probably more danger of you slipping and falling whil clearing of the snow
. Just let it melt JMO if you are not planning on using it. If in one spot and staying in it, it;s just extra insulation. :laugh:

Re: 3 feet of snow on the roof
I have been thinking about for a while and think I should put in my 2 bits. In my area, three feet get it off. Three feet on snow is heavy. The more moisture the snow has the heavier it gets. Rod know more about the weight the roof and the walls can take then I do so he may be right. Can you hire some kid to at least take two feet off or can you get into your TT and turn the heater on and up. I have seen the damage that 3+ feet of snow can do. JMHO.

RE: 3 feet of snow on the roof
Back in 08' we had about 2'+ on the roof. I was worried that the forecast was calling for a warm up with a bunch of rain. I was thinking the rain would cause the snow to become super heavy. So I got on the roof and carefully shoveled off the roof, without touching the shovel to the rubber roofing material. Picture of this
