I live in the heart of snow country in British Columbia Canada. The house I purchased 2 years ago has a wrap-around porch which I love in the summer. In the winter, however, the front portion of the porch receives all the snow and ice that slides off the roof! It then becomes impossible to shovel. I want to extend the roof to cover this part of my porch. Is this possible? What is the best way to do this?
