LaPorte County has been under a snow advisory for several days. We have had about 16 inches of snow in the last 24 hours and more expected. The small, but potent band of lake effect snow will continue over the area thru Saturday.
In addition to the normal sidewalk and driveway snow removal, I have been removing about 2 to 3 feet of snow from the house roof. Snow scrappers are made that allow you to stand on the ground and remove the snow from the roof. Keeping the snow off of the gutter area, back about 2 to 3 feet, helps prevent ice dam formation.
