Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Weird. I would assume that rocks would be problematic for snow and would just encourage snow to stick and add street to the framing.

The only rock roofs I’ve ever come across are in temperate places that don’t get snow.

On metal roofs they actually add grips so the snow can’t slide right off.

A sheet of snow isn’t light, you DO NOT want that sliding off and hitting you, but it’ll also fuck your eavestrough up.

"Eavestrough" is some hardcore Midwest levels of dialect

Michigander, so close enough.
