Oddly effective snow removal technique for the roof
(CBS News) So I'm sure many of you probably have snowy roofs at the moment and aren't quite sure what to do. And while you could wait for the weather to warm up (and let Mother Nature take care of the job), you might opt to employ the odd, but effective technique in the video above.
