Most Freepers have probably experienced excess snow this year. In all our years in SW Pennsylania, I've never seen this much accumulation with no end in sight.

The local places, of course, are all sold out on commercial snow rakes, so I'm thinking of building one with plumbing pipe and a strong but thin piece of plywood about 6" wide x 3' long by 1/2" thick.

Any reviews, advice or voices of experience would be appreciated.

I've lived in Rochester, NY for 40+ years and we know snow.
In those 40+ years I've never raked snow off my roof, nor understood why anyone would want to.
God put it there; God will take it away.

I have seen 3 people make these and they work slick. One does the roof of a split level with a 40’ pvc extension.
