The Maine Emergency Management Agency is reminding Mainers that with snow on their roofs from previous storms, new snow will create an additional hazard.

“And don’t forget the barn, especially livestock barns,” says MEMA Director Rob McAleer. One foot of wet or compacted snow can weigh 20 pounds per square foot.

Mainers should also make sure all heating vents are clear of snow, and oil tanks are protected from snow and ice falling from the roof.
