Heh, I beg to differ, I had to do the same thing last year on the garage roof. I had some massive ice dams and water was starting to back up into one of the vents and enter the garage. I had to heave my snow blower to the roof, blow off the snow and the get after the ice with a dead blow hammer. Not a pleasant day.

Yeah some of the drifts up there were around 4 feet, so it took forever to get it done. My saving grace was the fact that they used roll roofing and not regular shingles, so there wasn't any damage. Whoever built the garage didn't put much pitch in it. I installed heat cables this fall on the roof and in the gutters, but to be honest, I'm not impressed.
