I live in Erie, PA. During Dec 2017, we received 50" to 60" of snow. As a precaution, I had snow removed from my roof. Is the cost of the snow removal deductible?

There was damage to many buildings in Erie do to the accumulation of snow and the excessive weight it added to the structures.  This is my primary residence and no damaged occurred.   It was a precaution.

No, unfortunately, this is not deductible. This is a personal expense.
