The foremost question in my mind--because of my firsthand knowledge of New England winters, temperatures, and ice--is: Will there be a problem with the roof drainage system? I ask because of how the roof drains are positioned. They're enclosed behind the skin of the house, with the intakes positioned at the roof corners just behind the parapet. I just can't see how they won't accumulate ice dams. So, are they super insulated, heated...what? Or does it even matter?
