I have two, each having aluminum pole sections that clip together. I use
all the poles together to make one large enough to clear my hangar roof.

Subject: [Bulk] [Shop-talk] How to clear snow from ridge vents?
Nere in the NE where we're getting 40 days and nights of blizzard, I have
about 3' of snow on my roof, 2.5 stories up. Noticed the first evidence of
ice damming this morning. I have a modern roof with full soffit and ridge
vents, but the system isn't working due to the ridge vent being buried.
How do I clear the vent of all that snow? The opening in the sheathing is
too small to get anything mechanical up in there. I thought about a heat
lamp, but with no other exit for the warm air that might cause more harm.
The attic floor is insulated and the roof is not, which is good. Getting
onto the roof is not at all possible except with a really long lift given
how far the ridge is from the driveway.
thanks,
