Raking spreads
Local media are noticing that roof raking is starting to spread. I'm still not seeing it in the neighborhood. Last year we ended up with about 6 nearby houses raking, and they raked in time to prevent ice dams.
At this point it may be too late for some houses. I learned the lesson the hard way in 2008. If you wait until the dam is several inches thick, there's no cure. Since then I've been obsessive about raking after every significant snowfall.
It's directly parallel to plowing. If you plow early and use
early, the streets remain usable with MUCH less work.
Bit later: Aha! A new raker, almost across the street. I'll assume 'trendiness' for this one. Good thorough job.
