roof raking
Clearing snowy eaves
Roof raking is the practice of using a long-handled tool to pull snow off a roof, preventing ice dams and structural damage from accumulated weight.
Done from ground level with a specialized rake, it's a winter maintenance task in snowy climates: I spent an hour roof raking after the blizzard.
