Where Route 611 meets River Road below the Nockamixon Cliffs. Winter is longer at this end of the county and roofs feel it.
Kintnersville sits at the junction of Route 611 and River Road at the northern end of Bucks County, in Nockamixon Township with part of it reaching into Durham Township. Gallows Run comes down to the Delaware here, and the shale faces of the Nockamixon Cliffs rise just downstream. Shaded hillsides, north-facing slopes and a position well up the valley all mean the same thing for a roof: snow sits longer and melt runs later than it does down around Doylestown.
We build for that. Ice-and-water underlayment goes well past the minimum at the eaves and up the valleys, drip edge and gutter details are set so meltwater has an exit, and attic intake is opened up to keep the deck cold. Nockamixon Township is the permitting authority under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

More freeze and thaw cycles per winter mean more chances for meltwater to refreeze in a valley, at an eave or behind a flashing that was never sealed for it.
Meltwater refreezing at a cold eave backs up under shingles and into the wall.
Snow packs into valleys and stays there, so underlayment coverage matters up them too.
Hillside shade keeps snow on the roof for weeks after a storm has passed.
Kintnersville roof permits go through Nockamixon Township under the Pennsylvania UCC.

Common, but not a good sign. Icicles mean snow is melting on the roof and refreezing at the cold edge, which is the start of an ice dam. The cause is almost always heat and moisture escaping into the attic. Better intake and exhaust ventilation plus ice-and-water underlayment at the eaves is what actually stops it.
Nockamixon Township covers most of the village, and the northern part falls in Durham Township, so we check the parcel before filing. Whichever it is, the township is the permitting authority under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code, and its inspector signs off on the finished roof. There is no county permit for this.
Yes, with some limits. Shingle seal strips need warmth to bond, so in deep cold we hand seal where needed and choose the days carefully. Snow and ice on the deck have to come off before we start. If a roof is leaking in January we will make it watertight, but full replacement often schedules better in spring.
More than the minimum, in our view, on a house at this end of the county. We run it up from the eave far enough to get past the exterior wall line, and we carry it up valleys and around penetrations. It is a small part of the material cost and it is what protects the ceiling when a dam forms anyway.
