Hello from the Boston area where we are buried under over 60 inches of snow and had another 18" fell last night.
Our AS is safely sitting on it's (outside) parking pad and we carefully winterized it last fall. But now it's sitting with a lot of snow on the roof. We have been clearing snow off the roof areas of our house, but haven't tried to clear it off the AS for fear of scratching it.
So my question is, is there some amount of snow that will cave in the AS? I'm talking snow here, not ice.
Since the AS isn't heated nothing on the roof is melting and the rounded shape is keeping some of it from sticking a little bit, but we keep getting more and more snow and this is our first winter owning it, and I'm wondering if we should try to remove some of it. Note that if I do pull it off, it will end up increasing the snow height around the sides of the AS. We already have snow chest high everywhere. . . .
On a funny note, the area under the AS is clear and the snow is so deep that it's created a closed space underneath. The neighborhood rabbits are using it as a shelter. We can see the tracks running up to the edge and then the slide that they use to get under it. I can't wait to see the "debris" in the spring!
