I have some valleys in the roof that get clogged with snow/ice when the severe storms come. During a trip to Colorado, I purchased a few hundred feet of a conduit called heat tape, and had it installed on the roof to the gutters and down the spouts. It was expensive, but it melts the areas that freeze up and clears the areas so the interior isn't damaged. We had water intrusion as well, and it was really frustrating to put down pails to catch water coming from unknown places.
My electric bill was crazy when the heat tape was on, and I'm not sure it solved the problem 100% as we haven't had storms that severe since I put it in.....the conduit in the gutters make it easier for them to become clogged so maintenance is definitely an issue.....I feel your pain.
