I live in Phoenix Arizona and will most likely never be able to use or do anything you do but your content is so entertaining

I need weather like that. It’s a scorching 53°F here, it may not sound hot to you, it may even sound cold to some, but this is Connecticut in early March, and you’d expect temperatures in the 30-45°F range. It’s also really humid, making the heat feel a lot worse.

Salt will damage your shingles. You want to use roof melt.

Hi

[@indigowendigo8165]

LOL, here in Arkansas, before it warmed up, it actually snowed again... in March. :p I'm guessing this video was posted around this time or something where it was getting extra cold again everywhere. XD

Recommend safety googles when knocking ice cycles off roof.

[@snoop4470]

Salt will damage your shingles use a rood melt or similar products.

Make sure you remove them once the job is done. One of mine broke and killed the very nice plant I had underneith it.

He didn’t mention using calcium chloride as it looked like he used rock salt….damages shingles and house.
