Winter storm Fern did a number on us. Snow, ice, power outages, and tons of flight cancellations occurred because of the storm. And plenty of us are still dealing with the aftermath. The kids might be thrilled school is canceled, but those of us who have to adult might be getting a bit concerned about the snow on the roof. If that's a familiar fear, check out this solution that's on sale at Amazon.

As of Jan. 27, the Avalanche! AVA750 roof rake is $156.95 at Amazon. We've all seen the epic videos online of massive amounts of snow sliding off a roof. They look cool, sure, but image that happening when you're not expecting it. Not ideal. Instead, remove the snow yourself with safety and ease in mind thanks to the Avalanche! AVA750 roof rake.

Designed for asphalt shingle roofs, the rake allows you to push a slick surface slide between the roof and the snow, giving it a nice chute to slide down gracefully, with no surprises. The fiberglass handle of the rake is lightweight and has four sections that make for a 15.5-foot pole, so you can stay firmly planted on the ground.

The plastic slide measures 17 inches wide and 12 feet long, so you'll be able to clear the roof quickly and can perhaps head over to a neighbors house who could use help with snow removal, too.

To help deal with snow accumulation from the weekend winter storm or prepare for future storms, snag the Avalanche! AVA750 at Amazon.
