A lot of snow falls in the winter time. I didn't plan to visit the home this winter but after having someone check on it for me... the report was that the 5' tall gate was buried in snow, so the roof must have quite a bit on it. I made the trek up on a weekend with my brothers and we cleaned it off. It took us most of the day to clean the roof off. I'm not sure how much total snowfall there was, but it was very compacted and wouldn't slide off the roof, so we took it down shovel by shovel. As I mentioned before there were a couple of trusses that needed repair when we bought the home. I beleive it was because of the super heavy snow load so I thought it would be wise to clean the heavy weight off to eliminate further damage before we were able to get the trusses fixed.
I think increasing the roof pitch would be a good idea on this one.
