The almost flat roof above that faces south was the last place to lose its snow this winter. To be fair the room was only heated to 17C during the period as I am still working on it, where the rest of our home is heated to 21C. As for the rest of our village I have no idea as to their levels of insulation or heating, most had lost their snow long before ours melted.
