I had an issue when the snow slide off it covered the vent for my tankless hot water heater and I would have no hot water until I cleared the snow.

The snow this winter was covering half of my front windows, about 5' high.
I had to replace the bottom half of my barn board siding in the front and back of the house because it rotted out due to the snow sitting against it for years. I didn't want to reside the whole house so I ended up putting a pressure treated skirt on the front and back of the house and stained it after it dried out.
I bought the house with the metal roof on the main portion of the house. My garage and breezeway has asphalt shingles. In my situation if I had to do the roof over I would put shingles.
For the best results you really need a large overhang for a metal roof, at least a foot or larger, IMHO.
