I live at 4000 feet elevation in the Sierras. Our deck and roof are loaded with snow and we are expecting eight inches of rain.

Wow, that's a lot of weight, at least until the snow slides off. I'm curious... How big are the house joists there? In MA, 2 x 10 on 18 inch centers is common.

That is above my pay grade. I donโ€™t know how itโ€™s built, just clean it. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜Š
