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

“...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?

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:

I remember the olden days when the only thing to be careful of was radioactive fallout in the snow.

You can’t say how much the snow weighs because it depend on Square footage and water content. And if they are using an average then that is just idiotic. Because there is a big difference between a small roof and a big one. People have been so dumbed down.

Average weight of 12" of fresh snow on a roof: 7,000 pounds

Lake effect snow is very light and fluffy. It's dry.

The "average weight of fresh snow" is much heavier than the average weight of fresh lake effect snow.

Seems to me, Storm Team 4 is exaggerating the weight problem.

How much square footage of a roof? Is it a converted shed? A tiny home? An estate?

Does that take into consideration Daylight saving time?

So which is heavier: A pound of snow or a pound of BS?

The whole country has been covered with the latter in regards to climate propaganda.
