Roof snow rake.

Removing the snow from the roof.
Here we remove snow from a snowdrift on the slate roof. At this point the snow was about eighteen inches deep. The snow is pulled off slowly, a few inches at a time. You have to be careful not to damage the slate roof under the snow, and, not to damage any shrubs or bushes below the roof when the snow is pulled off the edge of the roof.
The snow is only removed to within an inch or two of the slate.
