Removing snow from the roof during a storm is certainly not on the list of things people like to do.

It is suggested to install the ropes on the roof before the snow falls, so you don't have to face the slippery and icy conditions after a heavy snowfall.
The snow is heavy on a roof and it can be dangerous.
It's hard to know how much your roof can support, but House Logic's experts report that "six inches of wet snow equals the weight of about 38 inches of dry snow." This gives an idea of the heaviness of the snow!
So, if your area is experiencing a heavy snowfall, it is definitely time to take this rope and get rid of the excess snow!
