Reply to comment by oldmanshiba in Alternatives to Roof Raking? by Decemberskel

The zigzag heated cables work great. Unfortunately that won't solve OP's problem for this winter, but it'd be a great summer project.

The first year I got it I just put it on top of the snow and let it melt through. I don’t think it’s too late.

Personally the idea of climbing around on a snowy/icy roof scares the crap out of me. I don't see how to do it right (zig zag with clips holding it down) without going on the roof. I tried tossing it out the overlooking windows at my old house after we had ice dams, but that didn't work worth anything.
