- A sample roof alert estimates snow load in pounds per square foot and flags a thaw-freeze pattern as possible ice-dam weather.
Field notes
The sample alerts pair a local condition with a practical implication: one estimates roof snow load and flags possible ice-dam weather, while another applies individual blanket rules to named horses. The homepage says it draws on weather services, gauges, tide tables, wildlife agencies, and local farm, fair, and club pages. Annual pack prices are listed, and the service describes ZIP-code setup with no app or password to remember.
