from above the side walls to the overhang. Which is what snow rakes/roof rakes
do. But I don't know if they'd reach 2 1/2 stories high.

They won't, and I can't get through the snow on the ground if they could.

However, the issue is the ridge vent. Once it's clear, the attic stays cold
enough to prevent any melting.
