Minnesota weather can often mean severe weather. Severe weather is more intense and can take a much harsher toll on our homes than normal, temperate weather. In Minnesota, the challenges of the cold weather months are falling temperatures, snow, ice, and wind. Combined, those weather phenomena can spell disaster–or at least minor damage–to the structure of an otherwise solidly built home. The accumulation of ice and snow on a roof can lead to the formation of ice dams, which form when the frozen precipitation accumulates on the warm roof of your home, expanding as it refreezes Read Full Post
