There is no just leaving it there. And you can definitely throw your back out trying to move all that snow, I should know, I have. If I did not clear the driveway completely we simply could not get the cars out. The 4wd pickup truck can but that one is down for the count right now. 10 to 12 inches of snow usually renders a 24 inch, hard as concrete banking across the front left by the snow plow clearing the streets. No way the old Jetta wagon can bust across that. As for the roof there is just no beefing it up. Simply no room short of a major rebuild. some day I'll tear the drywall off upstairs and re-insulate the roof and while I am at it I may as well double up the rafters. But that will all have to wait for a while.Mike Silviushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10406468736304441962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4229172837911249933.post-3286229910651487032013-03-23T19:19:37.053-04:002013-03-23T19:19:37.053-04:00Sounds a right pain to keep all that lot clear.

I never bother moving snow here, I might clear a path to the car and van but thats it, I guess we have to deal with a lot less than you though (although it has snowed today!) Anyway you could add a purlin to make your roof stronger. Things like that always play on my mind as well!Kev Alvitihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04992625860900617194noreply@blogger.com
