Now is the opportune time to clear roofs

December 29, 2017

Depending on your specific location, you have received 8-20 inches of snow in the past 48 hours. Some of us are forecast for another 8-20 inches in the next 36 hours. None of your local infrastructure should be approaching max snow load at this time, however, Boundary County does not mandate a minimum snowload requirement for construction. Predictions are for well below freezing temps for the next week. This means the snow will not be melting anytime soon. We have the potential for one or more wet weather events before warmer weather comes to the region. Make sure your roofs are shoveled to protect your structures from heavy wet snow that could cause roof collapse. All local public infrastructure owners, operators and managers and home owners are advised that now is the opportune time remove the recently fallen snow from structures.
