Risk Of Icicles And Ice Dams
Ice dams are ridges of ice that form at your roof's edge. Having a large amount of snow on your roof is the first step in creating ice dams. When your roof is not properly ventilated, heat from the attic melts the snow on your roof. That water backs up behind the dam and can leak into your home.
Potential Home Damage
Prevent ice damage to your roof and the inside of your home by removing ice off after the storm. Generally, it's best as an ongoing task because when the ice accumulates, excess weight puts pressure on the roof, causing damage, and for some, at risk for collapse.
Beware of the dangers of attempting yourself. Take safety precautions by being aware of ice, making sure someone is there to guide you up and down the ladder, and trying not to overexert yourself.

Future Prevention
Ice Damming can be prevented by closing up attic bypasses. By stopping air leakage to mitigate ice dams, you'll save energy and reduce both your heating and your air conditioning bills.
You should also have a contractor look at your insulation. If you lack proper insulation, the heat from your home will melt the snow on your roof to create additional icicles. An easy check is to look at your roof and compare it with your neighbors. If their roofs are covered with snow and yours isn't, then you might have an insulation problem.
