Lava Rock

So we have an ice dam that is causing some issues. I don't think I realized what it was until I saw the large icicles hanging off the siding. Pretty sure this happens every winter at some point, but don't recall seeing the icicles before. Last summer I noticed the pine soffit trim pieces had a punky look to them and have some mold on them, but it didn't make sense at the time as to why. Now I know. Is there anything I can do now to relieve the dam? I realize there is water pooled somewhere above the ice at the edge of the gutter, but not sure how far up. Best I can do is try and shovel some of the snow off the roof immediately behind the ice. With the warm up coming, I'm hoping it melts pretty quick, but this side of the house (north) doesn't get much sun so probably won't melt as quick as I'd like. I'll definitely need to remove soffit pieces in the Spring and investigate a bit behind the wall. The backside of wall is our master bed closet. So far I don't see any water damage. Fingers crossed.

I'm not picking spots to dispute your increased global warming map. I'm just saying that relative to the mean, much of AK was BN. Sent from my SM-G981U1 using Tapatalk

No, one Nov event, one Dec event, totalling 6.5" for those months. It's in my sig. We're 40" for the season Sent from my SM-G981U1 using Tapatalk

Hard to believe we only had one event in each of Nov and Dec, totalling 6.5", most of it in Jan and one shit event Feb. Sent from my SM-G981U1 using Tapatalk

Figured the spigot would eventually turn off, but thought it would have done so awhile ago. If only all that rn were sn we'd be a much better spot
