Extended deep-freeze temperatures combined with heavy snowfall create the perfect conditions for ice buildup along roof edges. When warm air escapes from the attic, snow melts on the roof and refreezes at the eaves, forming ice dams. This trapped ice forces water back under shingles, where it can lead to roof leaks, damaged decking, mold growth, and interior ceiling stains—often before homeowners even realize there’s an issue.
Ice accumulation like this is a strong indicator that your roof’s ventilation, insulation, or drainage system may be compromised. In extreme cold conditions, catching these issues early is critical to preventing costly repairs down the line.
