Just be safe and smart if you go up. Also take into consideration the sun and how it hits your house.

Keep an ear out for some thundersnow, remember it during our last blizzard .. So badass.
Get a roof rake. You don't have to worry about the weight of the snow but as your house melts the snow it will likely turn to ice and create an ice dam. That can cause damage to your roof if left all winter.
They make rakes specifically for clearing off roofs of snow.

I mean, it wasn't the snow
It was the ice under the snow.
That's very high impact and perfect for cracking your head open

Oh yeah I'm not climbing out on the roof. I have a window with good access to push stuff away from that wall with a long shovel if it really accumulates.

It's starting here in Central Jersey
Do you have a push broom? That could be a possibly safer for the roof option.

Lawd, I just went outside to walk the dog. That shit is cold! I also saw a cat run under my neighbors truck. Thing is probably going to freeze to death.
Were they impressed?

That would be a record for Baltimore and the biggest storm total for DC since 1922. If that actually happens.
Just for information, back in the 90s when we had that big blizzard that put down like 3 or 4 feet of snow, we didn't do anything to our roof and it was fine. Our roof was about 8 years old at that time.

40 inches of snow is utterly mind blowing. like i can't even begin to picture what that would be like.

That's easy; unless you're taller than 6 feet, that's about waist deep or higher.
OMG, wat?! D:
GG Bronx we had a great run mate! ;__;

My in-laws moved to a town east of Nashville. Fun city. Had a great drunk night out, then a nice breakfast and walk at the art museum in the old postal building the next day. Hangover burgers at The Pharmacy on the way home. Too bad it will all go away in this snow.

Thing is, apparently the only "official" record is whatever is recorded at BWI.

I do hope more GAFfers get to experience it. It's an incredibly unique sound.
Is this a fanfic for something? Go on...

Nah it's a fanFACT. Let's just say there was a lot of screaming as the bodily fluids and protrusions we're going everywhere

This storm is reminding me of the greatest and douchiest picture for 2+ feet of snow from that HUGE storm in Buffalo two years ago
Does that say 40", like over 3 feet? FFS
We're all rooting for you, Fancy. Go all the way!

It's amazing how bright the sky is right now at 9pm with all the snow coming down. Don't even need any street lights.

It's pretty light snow right now. I go out every hour or two to sweep my walkway. Figured that's better than trying to handle 2 feet of snow at once.
Fuck me wish I was back in MD for this shit. Rochester gets a foot dumped on it every week and it ain't no thang.
I want to see the panic and chaos and shitty driving at work in my home state again.

So funny
story about snow on the roof. Back in the early 90s when I lived in Poughkeepsie, in a ranch my wife and I owned, we had a blizzard. 2+ feet of snow. The house was old, built in the 40s, and even though we'd replaced the shingles, we were worried about the weight.
So my brother and his wife were in town. He and I get up on the roof and start sliding snow off. Somewhere in this work effort, we decided to slide two whole 90 degree angle sections onto the patio. So we get this huge pile of snow on the patio, a good 4-5 feet high... And proceeded to jump off the roof into it. Then clamber back onto the roof and do it again.
Good times.
and probably stupid

What's the best strategy here? Shovel many times so it never gets too deep? Or just wait until tomorrow morning? For the latter, less ground to cover but more snow to lift.

Straight blizzard going on in DC. Visibility less than 1/4 mile.

Still not due for another 2 hours or so here in northern Jersey. So pumped. I love a good snowstorm.

That's pretty much my strategy. Tomorrow morning will be painful as hell, but I can lessen that burden with a few 10 minutes shots tonight.
