Snow Removal Assembly

Abstract

A snow removal assembly includes a plurality of snow sensors that is each coupled to a roof of a building to sense snow that has collected on the roof. A plurality of vibration units is each coupled to the roof of the building having each of the vibration units being positioned in an attic of the building. Each of the vibration units is turned on when the snow sensors sense snow. Moreover, each of the vibration units vibrates when the vibration units are turned on thereby facilitating the snow to slide off of the roof. A control unit is positioned within the building to turn each of the vibration units on and off when the control unit is manipulated by the user. A remote control is carried by the user and the remote control remotely turns on each of the vibration units for removing the snow from the roof.
