Kathy, Nantucket gets far less snow and ice than Western Ma, but this is what we did and perhaps this could work for you. We have a wooden shed roof that projects out from the overhang above that the snow and ice fall down on to from above before the glass starts. The angle of the glass is such that the snow and ice debris then slid down the glass with no ill effect since 1982. Our glass is essentially sliding glass doors set in wood frames that where recycled from old Rhine gold brewery vats in Brooklyn. I knew I saw glass in your future!!! Just a thought. Pren is finishing up the yule logs and it is now a sparkling day. You guys have got to visit. Patti
