Due to global warming, the snow is particularly heavy and no one wants to shovel it off their roofs.

I grew up in Connecticut. Twenty inches is not that unusual. Same with my old homes of Rockford, Illinois, and Edgerton, Wisconsin. Sometimes you get it twice in a single season. To shovel snow off your roof, you have to get on the roof. Good luck getting the ladder out of the garage or cellar with two feet of snow outside.

Shoveling the walkway and driveway is plenty. If you shovel the roof, the snow has to go somewhere, partly on the driveway and walkway you just shoveled. If there is enough snow that the roof is in danger of collapsing, you best not be on it! Finally the snow acts as extra insulation so that the furnace doesn't have to work as hard. You don't want to call the oil man in this weather!

If you were being sarcastic (due to the global warming crack), my apologies. I didn't pick up on it.

Lake effect snow is much lighter than synoptic snow. It has a lower water content. It's fluff.

Can you blame them?
