Melting ice and snow can be a serious hazard.  As the sun warms a roof, ice and snow are prone to sliding. This can damage rain guters, personal property and the landscaping below.  Of greater concern, every winter, there are reports of people needlessly being hurt or killed by falling ice and snow.  These incidents can be avoided.
