Abnormal snowfall in the South of Russia, Krasnodar region

Wow, that's almost 4 feet of snow!  

If you're looking for a bit of friendly advice, try to get as much snow off the roof as possible. We had one winter where the snow never melted off between storms and accumulated about as deep. A lot of older roofs failed (especially the flat ones). It's not a big problem when it is light & fluffy, but that can change quickly if you get a heavy rain ...it will soak it up like a sponge. If it's not possible to get up on the roof safely, perhaps look into getting (or making) a roof rake ... even just removing snow from the lower portion of the roof will better expose it to the sun & helps to avoid ice-dams.



Sure looks beautiful, though!

I cannot recommend a snow roof rake enough! In November 2014, my area received 7 feet (210cm) of snow in two days. (Yes, in TWO DAYS!!) There was a huge pile up of snow on the roof; and we lacked one of these. There was only some slight damage, and providentially nothing serious. We got one of these roof rakes as soon as they became available (Springtime!). Of course, we haven't needed it since!
