January 23 Snowstorm: Prepare Your Roof for Winter’s Fury

On January 23, a secondary storm is expected to develop in the Gulf region, bringing unexpected snowfall to areas of the Deep South, including South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia. This winter event will impact millions with potential snow accumulations, icy conditions, and disruptions to daily life. Residents in the affected areas should prepare for winter’s challenges, particularly regarding home safety, focusing on shingles and roofs.

Snowfall Predictions for the Deep South and Beyond

The Gulf Coast states will experience a rare winter storm, with snowflakes potentially falling as far south as northern Alabama and Georgia. As the storm tracks northeastward, heavier snow is forecasted for South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia.

  • South Carolina: Light to moderate snowfall may create slippery roads and hazardous travel conditions.
  • North Carolina: Snow accumulations of up to several inches are possible in some areas, particularly in the Piedmont region.
  • Virginia: Residents can expect heavier snowfall, with potential disruptions in higher elevations and urban centers.

How to Prepare Your Roof for Winter Storms

Winter weather can wreak havoc on your roof, leading to costly damage if precautions aren’t taken. Here’s how to ensure your roof and shingles remain safe during severe winter conditions:

1. Inspect Your Roof and Shingles

Before the storm hits, check your roof for loose or missing shingles. Damaged shingles can lead to leaks when snow and ice accumulate. Secure any problematic areas to prevent water intrusion.

2. Clear Debris

Remove leaves, branches, and other debris from your roof and gutters. This allows snowmelt to drain properly, reducing the risk of ice dams and water damage.

3. Address Ice Dams

Ice dams occur when melting snow refreezes at the edge of your roof, blocking drainage and causing water to seep under shingles. Use a pet- and roof-safe ice melt, such as Safe Paw, to prevent ice dams without harming your roof’s integrity.

4. Add Attic Insulation

Proper attic insulation helps regulate your roof’s temperature, preventing snow from melting unevenly and refreezing. This simple step can extend the lifespan of your shingles.

5. Avoid Overloading Your Roof

Heavy snow accumulation can strain your roof’s structure. Use a roof rake to gently remove excess snow, especially after back-to-back storms.

Negatives of Traditional Salt and Chemical-Based Ice Melt

Using traditional salt or chemical ice melts to clear snow can harm your roof, driveway, and environment:

  • Roof Damage: Chloride-based ice melts can corrode roofing materials, reducing their lifespan.
  • Environmental Impact: Runoff from salt-based ice melts pollutes local waterways, harming aquatic life.
  • Health Risks: Pets and wildlife are at risk from exposure to chemical residues.
