Snowfall Forecast Highlights
Mixed Snowfall in Missouri, Illinois, and Iowa
Residents in Missouri and Illinois will see mixed precipitation, making road conditions slippery and travel hazardous. Meanwhile, Iowa is set to experience a blend of snow and sleet, demanding caution for drivers.
Heavy Snowfall in Kentucky and Arkansas
The heaviest accumulation is forecasted for western Kentucky and eastern Arkansas, where residents should prepare for significant disruptions. Snow-packed roofs and ice dams are potential risks, especially in areas where homes are not designed for heavy snow loads.
Roof Care During Winter Storms
Snowstorms, like the one forecasted for January 10, can cause significant damage to roofs, particularly if snow and ice accumulate unchecked.
Common Roof Issues
- Snow Load: Excess snow can lead to sagging roofs or, in extreme cases, structural collapse.
- Ice Dams: Formed by melting and refreezing snow, ice dams prevent proper drainage and can lead to leaks.
Preventative Roof Care Tips
- Choose the Right Ice Melt: Avoid salt-based products that can corrode shingles and other roofing materials.
- Clear Snow Promptly: Use a roof rake to safely remove snow without climbing on the roof.
- Ensure Proper Ventilation: Keep your attic well-ventilated to reduce snowmelt that causes ice dams.
The Drawbacks of Salt and Chemical-Based Ice Melts
Salt and chemical-based ice melts are a go-to for managing snow and ice, but their long-term effects are harmful:
Roof Damage
- Corrosion: Salt can eat away at shingles, flashing, and gutters, compromising the integrity of the roof.
- Discoloration: Chemical residues often stain roofs, especially darker shingles.
Environmental Harm
- Toxic Runoff: Salt runoff contaminates nearby soil and water bodies, affecting plants and wildlife.
- Non-Biodegradable Residue: Chemical ice melts leave residues that are difficult to remove from the environment.
Health Concerns
- Pet Safety: Pets walking on surfaces treated with salt or chemical ice melts can suffer from paw irritation or ingestion-related issues.
