For homes built in the 1980s or later, the issue isn’t so much the weight as the ice accumulating on the eaves.
A classic ice dam has formed on the roof of this Airport Heights home in Anchorage.
“We really wouldn’t be recommending getting up and shoveling a roof right now, given the potential to fall off the roof,” he said. Mortensen said owners of old houses could have cause for concern about the weight on their roofs. That goes for homes built before building code enforcement began in the 1970s or with recent changes to insulation or attic ventilation, which can cause a roof to hold more snow than it used to. Atmospheric conditions have been ideal for ice dams, Mortensen said.
