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

Depends on the size of the roof.

And a ‘wet snow’ is considerably heavier than a light, ‘fluffy snow’.

“Depends on the size of the roof.”

WAY too hard of a concept for those cretins educated in public schools.

Laker snow is fluff that packs down in a day or two to 1/2 to 1/3 of what it starts out as.

So we get 4 ft of lake is actually around 18 - 24 inches.

3 ft of lake = 1 ft of nor’easter snow is the general rule.

I’ve lived in Buffalo or Syracuse all of my life.
