Here in the Greater Boston area we have recently received a couple of days of small but measurable snowfall. These are perfect conditions to use to perform a cursory exam of your roof’s effectiveness.
A properly functioning roof should retain snow evenly while allowing gradual melting via proper drainage. If the snow melts rapidly, your home may be losing heat indicating inadequate insulation. Uneven patches could suggest warm spots where snow is melting faster due to poor insulation or attic air leaks. Also look for ice dams which can cause water and gutter damage.
