More On Snow/Cold Au Contraire, Mr Roebear! My Upstate New York cabin's roof is heavily insulated (3 inch foam in all of roof, then additional 10 inches fiberglass in half which has an attic (other half has cathedral ceiling) and I can notice a distinct difference in wood consumption before/after snow. (btw, I notice that my roof 'holds the snow' very well relative to others, new or old. That is, internal heat doesn't melt off the snowcover. This supports my contention that the roof is well insulated.) --- I am sure my wood consumption decreases precipitously with a good deep snow in spite of heavy roof insulation. Of course there might be other factors I'm missing. I've always assumed it was the roof-snow that made the difference. It would be interesting to hear about the experience of others in this matter. ---I agree with you that older uninsulated or less heavily insulated houses would realize more relative benefit from snow-insulation, at least until the houses melted off the snow. ---I also agree that there is not likely to be much of an effort to conserve. Good point, that. regards, diana
