Thx for all this info! This board is the greatest. I really want the 301 long bed. I first wanted a featherweight but after much research, I thought I would start with the workhorse! I am all over ebay and craigs list. Sorry to hear about your roof, Kathy. We are staying dry so far. We plan on raking the roof tomorrrow-would you believe that you would have to rake your roof. Thx Billy & Kathy,
Peace & Blessings

Actually, it's the ice dams that form along the edges of the roof that causes the problems with leaking in the house. Once the dam is formed the snow that melts, further up the roof, has nowhere to go but back up and then under the shingles. There has been a lot of roof collapses in my area of Massachusetts this past week and we are expecting more snow tomorrow.
A local forecast

Ice dam at edge of roof. This is the front of my house (please excuse where my dog has scratched the paint off the house...lol. The dams in the back of the house are much larger and they are the ones that are causing a problem.

But I think I would get me a stick or something and start beating ice of the side of the house. Heck that would be fun for me but then I would probably sit outside with hot buttered rum and shoot them off with the old Red Ryder!!
