When I look at our zinc gutters with the current snow masses, I ask myself, how much snow or frozen snow can they hold?
At the same time, because of the sub-zero temperatures of the past few days, snow/ice is accumulating in the gutters and virtually nothing is sliding off the roof. Does an electric cable that you throw in the gutters and turn on when needed help? So that the snow always melts and slides down to the gutters? Or is the electricity supplier the only one happy with the fact that you are heating the outside air?
