No concern about roofs … yet

Even with the latest dumping of snow we received — and more predicted this weekend — local building officials aren’t setting off alarms yet calling for residents to knock the deepening white stuff from most rooftops.

But they also caution that rain or wet snow could quickly change the situation.

“At this point it’s not a concern,” said Justin Miller, Post Falls building official, adding most of the snow received this winter has been light snow.

“Where it could be a problem later is if we get rain that’s absorbed into the snow that makes it heavier.”

Ed Wagner, Coeur d’Alene’s building services director, agreed there isn’t a concern with roofs yet/ Coeur d’Alene Press . More here .
