As I posted earlier the roof failures are now beggining.

I made a roof snow rake out of 3 pvc pipes and t fittings and u fittings glued with pvc cement and steel duct tape.
The middle is double 3/4 tubing bound by duct tape so it does not bend too much.
On the rake end I strung nylon string like a snow shoe lace.
It is 30 feet long and flexible enough to work on a second story.
On one story roofs it will go all the way to the crest.
It takes 30 minutes to make.

The average house here has 6 tons of snow on it. Another 20 inches will compromise many more roofs.
