    We had our home inspection, but there was so much snow on the roof, the inspector wouldn't go out on it. We understand this. However, we also want to protect ourselves if there is an issue. Can we put a clause in the offer that would cover issues that come up once the snow melts? We are most concerned about big issues like the roof or water leaking.
