You know, I never understood that. Removing snow when it
would just melt anyway. I spent four months once in
Oberramergau, Germany, from Jan to April and the snow was
never removed, but finally melted about late March.

After all, people up nawth DO have chains, don't they? And
roofs? Are houses that flimsey?

With roofs one of the big problems is partial melting
followed by refreezing - this builds up an ice dam on the
edge of the roof and can lead to water backing up under the
eaves and the soffit - once it does that, it gets in and
you've got a roof leak. It probably is more of a problem
with newer houses than with older houses because they're
built to finer tolerances and with less overall material,
and thus there is less extra material around to prevent the
problem.

In the mountains around the Seattle area, the snow is
usually quite WET. So, you can end up with 3 feet of "ice"
on your roof, and few houses can support that kind of
weight.

Heck yeah! If you live in a snowy area, snow removal (from
roofs, driveways) can be a major expense.

Condominium HOA is incorporated as non-profit corp and files
1120H. Does HOA have to give 1099's to non-incorporated
vendors (snow, lawn, pool guy)?

Thanks.
