9-day-old ice-storm byproducts still causing problems

A full 9 days after the 2013 ice storm byproduct ice damage is still occurring. The steeply pitched barn roof easily cleared the ice shortly after the storm; the shallow pitch on the garage has not! This, approximately 1-meter overhang attests to the thickness of ice/snow that has accrued on roof tops around the county (>10cms). A keen eye will spot the power line from the garage to the barn - knocked down 8 days after the storm leaving no electricity to the barn.
