It's always been a problem here in New York. Any house with a roof warmer then the cold, unheated eaves/overhangs has problems. Often, trying to let more heat into the attic to warm the roof will make it worse, not better.
Best remedy is prevention, i.e., raking snow off the roof when it first gets there and has not turned to ice or slush yet.
Another is having steel roofing at least on the cold eaves. Steel sheds much better then ashpalt.
Many homes in my area have electric eave-heaters. Just a one-wire heater wire that zig-zags across the eaves. Usually you only plug them in when ice builds up, and it creates small channels for water to escape.
Come spring, you see a lot of roof eaves with holes in them from people hammering on them with a claw hammer or hachet.
