When ice is an issue for the roof, I toss up handfuls of rock salt just above the gutters. Trick I learned from Pepe. Has never failed me.

Why have I never thought of throwing salt up there? Brilliant!

This works well as long as you're not particularly attached to having plant life near the gutter drains.

I don't go crazy with it, just enough to prevent ice dams or to poke holes in the ice dams to prevent water buildup (which adds weight to the roof or sometimes freezes) behind the ice dams.

If close, we have purchased our roof rakes from the OceanState JobLots.

Hardware stores only order a small number, and when they run out, they're out. If you're on the fence, get one, and stash it away.
