Thanks Patricia and jjl3;
My roof design has no gable ends (not sure what its called, but its pitched on all 4 sides). This also means that there is less ridge line than in a 'normal' roof. The snow is so deep that melting isn't possible. The extra insulation is a good call. I have thought of the wires, but I am glad to hear that the insulation is a better fix. I also have some bathroom vents that need insulating as they are surely leaking heat. I have now heard that this is one of the worst years in memory for ice damming in the northeast - so some of this is just a problem of nature. It is still curious to me that I have not heard more about use of cupolas in all I have read about or heard from others. It makes me a little suspicious as if there is something very wrong with going that way (as it turns out, a cupola would probably help the design!).
Thanks again
ACM
