Our house in the NJ suburbs had a heating coil running through the leading edge of the roof shingles, para di mag icicle dun sa alulod & edge of the roof.

Heavy snow would usually mean extra spending money for me. As a kid, I'd grab grab a shovel as soon as it would stop, then I'd run around the neighborhood offering to clear driveways and a path to the neighbor's front doors for a fee per hour. It was tedious work, but I managed to buy a bicycle all on my own after pooling my earnings together for some time.
I don't mind the cold but what I don't like is the shoveling part. Sometimes, I have to clear a path for my vehicle when it is covered in snow.

A Pinoy family friend who works for a construction company makes money on snowy days. He bought an old snow blower machine from his company for a dime and he brought it home to clear sidewalks of his neighbors. They were happy to give him $50 for each house he clears of snow. On summer, he cleans their gardens for the same amount.
