Normally, we don't really have to. The wind keeps the snow from building up too much.
What we have now isn't really a threat (unless a roof was already compromised). It's the amount of snow we'd expect to see by end of winter.
This last snowfall was a bit much and a bit early, though. I'm going to have a closer look today, see if the wind is likely to take the snow at all. I'm a bit wary of walking around on the roof in the winter, though; as you say, the pitch is significant.
... But, if we get another couple of storms, there'll be enough snow to be a potential threat to the house. *sigh* More shovelling. Ah well, mustn't get bored, right?
