Assuming the above was done correctly, leave it alone. All will be fine.
actually thats something i didnt think of .. the engineers probably calculated exactly how much snow load that roof can take .. and built it to that .. didnt take into account some moron standing up there with a shovel ...

That's a boat load if ifs. I would toss the neighbour's cat on the roof to start an avalanche. If that doesn't work, fire their hamster out of a potato cannon....that should clear the snow.

Just cleared the 2+ feet of snow off the temporary shelter over my boat at the cottage today. Hard and stubborn stuff!

I'm looking for a WW2 Howitzer cannon with shells for an easier procedure in the future.

Cottage life had a video on shovelling snow and that led to finding this cool device.
