Commercial Roof Snow Removal in Roy: What the Work Involves
Roof snow work at a commercial building is hand work. Crew members clear snow from accessible roof areas and then clear the ground below, so falling snow does not block doors, walkways or loading areas. Flat and low-slope roofs are the usual concern, because snow stays where it lands.
Roy's pattern shapes when this work is needed. Heavy-snow days of 4 in or more average only 0.18 a year, and days with 1 in or more average 1.8. Most winters pass with little to remove. The risk comes from the rare event. The record daily snowfall at Mcmillin Rsvr is 16.0 in, set in 1974. Nearby spotters reported 10 in at Yelm on Feb 13, 2021, and 4 in on Feb 9, 2019.
Cold matters too. Roy has about 42 freezing nights from Oct to Apr. Snow that melts during the day can refreeze overnight, so ice can form at roof edges and on the ground below.
