insurance companies are slow to cover a residence with a flat roof for

I do have icicles on the roof, and have been knocking them down every

the problem will go away. I had to take a half day off today, and work

Do you have icicles hanging from your eves? If not you will probably be OK.

Well, this was all good fun anyway. Yes, your run of the mill hand held
torch will do very little against any real mass of ice, as many people in
the area are finding out. My neighbors and I have kicked around a number
of concepts for bleeding off the water in the ice dams along our
roof-line

-if you use propane it would require only one tank for some torch types. The
load on your back would be less and maybe cheper when refilling one tank
instead of fillin

Well I just want all the damn snow to go away and how it gets done is not
important. I had to get my ladder and reach the most offending gutter with a
rather large ice dam on it. I had installed some covers that prevented leaves
from getting into the gutter, but it seems the end result may hav

I could probably get drawn and quartered for offending someone's rights
here, but I carried a pound of proffessional Ice Melt with me to the bus
today. The 7 minute walk only took 21 mins where as Tuesday it was 28
mins. We got 46 inches in a week in Philadelphia.

the snow to water conversion is either 10 inch to 1 inch or 8 inch of snow
to 1 inch.

Dan,
If the wind is in your face, all that steam is going to come rite up at you.
Oh well you probably won't freeze!
Seriously I think the torch is too much of a "point source" to do a big
area.

Hmm, good point Victor. Although, two feet of snow does equate to a lot
less than two feet of water. However, this gives me a pretty good idea,
to tack onto my already very good idea. I can backpack a pump along with

Only problem I see with this idea is the amount of water you'd generate,
thereby flooding the path of least resistance.
In other words, you'd go from walking in 10 feet of snow, to swimming in 10
feet of freezing water.
