I think a higher pitch for the roofs would be smart up here Manuel, given the amount of snow that we usually get. I think so far our annual snowfall is lower than normal, because our temperatures have been so cold. It's just over the past couple of weeks that we've finally hit seasonal temps instead of sub-zero stuff.
A lot of people here have to get up and shovel the roofs when we get tons of snow. It definitely poses a safety risk, because it gets heavy and falls off the eaves, and can seriously injure people.
