After an epic snowfall event across the East Coast, residents are doing their best to remove the heavy snow from rooftops.

Allan Mackenzie is a local roofing and siding expert who's been busy responding to calls to clear roofs in parts of Nova Scotia. He says doing so before any amount of incoming rain will save you a lot of money and potential damage.
