We strongly encourage readers to never lift a snowblower of any kind onto a roof. There are two possible solutions which are much safer. The electric snowblower shown in this picture would work. This is provided that the snow is not hard-packed or has an icy crust on it. Anyone attempting to use this solution needs to be very careful to avoid falling off the roof. But at least it is a light machine and can be controlled much more easily than a full-blown powerful snowblower.
If you fall into this latter category, hire someone to do the work for you who is younger and fit. While it will cost you some money, it is much better than falling off the roof or suffering a heart attack. Electric snow blowers and roof snow rakes are the best options for clearing snow off of sloped roofs. Even those that are flat.
