The lines in the shingles are at about the same spot as the asphalt sticky spots on the shingle underneath.
I doubt that comes from snow shoveling.
Geeze, I'm glad I now live where I don't have to worry about shoveling snow off the roof!

We don't have much snow shoveling activity on a roof around these parts, but still see that same deterioration on aged shingles that need to be replaced.

Thanks, guys. I suppose wind does the scraping, hitting the high spots.

The buckles are occuring just above the seal strips. This is caused when the asphalt loses it malleability and is no longer able to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction. The shingles should have been replaced years ago.

I think the ridges visible in the shingles in John's second batch of photos are simply the edges of the layers of roofing underneath this one telegraphing through the roof.

If you use a probe or a screwdriver, you'll find that the tabs have buckles with nothing but air immediately beneath them.
