That snow on your roof may be MUCH heavier than it looks. ❄️
Two roofs can have the same snow depth—but very different loads.
Why? Snow density changes, and wind can create dangerous concentrations called snow drifts.
Engineers therefore look beyond “how deep is the snow?” They consider density, roof geometry, accumulation patterns, and the resulting load path.
Watch until the end to see how that weight travels through the entire structure.
Would you have guessed that wet snow could make such a difference?
