does not having gutters help not having this problem?


Not really. The roof area above the soffit is colder due to no insulation or heated space underneath causing a ice dam at the edge of the roof with or without a gutter. Having gutters can make it worse.

I think a family member in Alexandria is going through this right now. Does the pitch of the roof affect the chance of this happening? How about a fully foam insulated roof?
