Yellow snow has it's own problems.

Doesn’t get yellow without a small bit of melting ...

What roof? My car roof? Or my house roof?
No matter...I can see why my grandpa died in the driveway shoveling the stuff. Tons and tons and tons of the stuff. That’s why I’ve got a snowplow service doing our driveway.

Travelled many times between Chicago and Levittown, PA and lake effect snow is no joke. Drops serious amounts of snow in a relatively short time and typically accompanied by/with white-outs.

People outside Buffalo like to marvel about the snow but somehow Buffalo chugs along.

Good golly.
It’s winter...in upper New York. Have they not figured out snow yet?

They have roof shovels in Buffalo. Imagine a hoe with a 20 foot handle. The snow could collapse the roof

WhenI went to school in Buffalo snow plowing priority depended on the politics of where you lived. Luckily my landlord drove a snow plow.

“...weight of 12” of fresh snow on a roof: 7,000 pounds...”

Depends on the size of the roof.

Don’t they have building codes that specify snow loads?

I live in Lake Effect Ohio and I refuse to shovel snow. I am sure that Bill Gates would love me to die shoveling snow, but Bill looks like he never played sports.

BUY AN EV THIS WEEKEND OR WE WILL ALL DIE. That will work particularly well in Buffalo. /s
Back in the 90’s I had consulting gigs at Xerox in Webster and J&J in Rochester. Everyone had these 1970’s junkers as a second car for winter. People would decorate their land yachts. It was sort of a competition.

They left out a lot of math.
What is the area of the “average roof” in square ft?
To determine the snow load they need to take the weight of the and divided it the square feet.
Example: If the roof area is 1500sf then the snow load would be 10,000/1500 = 6.7PSF
Modern building code is 20-30PSF snow load

It's one thing to say it snowed more than 3 feet... Beats the old record of two feet of snow:

To: shotgun
I should add that areas of heavy snow will have stricter snow load requirements to withstand heavier events
