Wow... that’s a lot of snow. You don’t look amused ;~)

That’s a cool shovel on a stick. We could use one of those. We had one year where we were pulling snow off the roof... it was starting to get hard to open the front door and I think it was close to collapse! It was melting was the problem, and there were ice dams that kept the water from draining off.

It is a roof rake. It works almost as well as a water rake... (hehe)

Actually, it does a pretty good job of getting the snow off the roof from the ground level. The work is almost isolated to the upper body, and gravity does most of it for you. About the only complaint I have is that if you are short 'like me' you have to hold the rake pole up above your head to get a good grab of snow if your roof has a shallow pitch.
