Maybe if it was fresh powder, but this has been up there 2 weeks. Not going
anywhere (if it was still powdery, the winds would have blown it off the
peak). Plus, the gap between the sheathing and ridge beam is only about 3/4",
not enough to get any appreciable airflow.
I did think about using the compressor hose to poke a hole, but it won't fit
either.
