And here you see the advantages of a standing seam roof.  Last winter we accumulated four feet of snow and ice on our old roof before we had it shoveled off –apparently just in time.    The white stuff still built up on the new roof but as soon as we got warmer temperatures it started sliding down, like a curtain  hanging.  We’re relieved it works because the roof itself is pretty flat.  It’s amazing how much we’ve had to learn about living in a cold climate and what expense that knowledge has led to!
