It cracks me up to see Californians transplanted to snowy regions still building flat roof houses. More than one has had a gable roof added on a few years later.
There aren’t many flat roofed homes here in MA but 2 years ago we had tons of snow and the roof of a skating rink,with lots of young kids on the ice,,collapsed-———it was a miracle that none were hurt.
Within days the roofs of all the strip malls had guys shoveling snow.
