Lots of Homeowners are looking at Shoveling their roof in the Alaskan interior after the heavy snow fall we've had the past few weeks. The question for many of us is, does this make sense?

That decision is completely up to the building owner but for Trusses designed to 50 pounds per square foot, the latest data on interior snow loads seems to place us in a fairly safe zone!

As of Monday Feb 23rd we received this information from the City of Fairbanks:

Currently in Fairbanks I would say at this point in the winter… “the snow load is about 26 pounds per square foot, which is close to average compared to the same time over the last 5 years.” “Never know how heavy of snow the rest of the winter may bring!” “This is for City of Fairbanks, conditions elsewhere can vary”.

Remember: (Snow Water Equivalent) X 5.2 = Snow in lbs/SF.

Remember also that each location will have varying conditions such as flat roof vs. gable roof. Wind and snow drifts can be issues along with ice damming, etc.…"

Looking at today's data 3/1/26 that calculation still seems to put us a bit under 30 #/sf but freezing rain/ice leading to heavy/wet snow between now and the start of thaw can still lead to issues so keep an eye on the snow loads and know your roof! Hopefully spring will come soon!

Ever fall asleep at night and find yourself wondering about the structural wood members holding the thousands of pounds of snow, shingles and plywood up over your head?

We have! That's why Fairbanks Truss uses only Machine Stress Rated (MSR) Hem-Fir lumber for our trusses. Unlike some of the other guys who will use a Spruce Pine Fir (SPF) mix of No 2 or better, each piece of lumber in our yard has gone through an inspection and bending process by the fine folks at Vaagan Bros Lumber Co - watch the video above to see how that process woks, you may find yourself thinking twice about who fabricates your next set of Trusses!

Machine stress rated (MSR) lumber is softwood dimensional lumber that has had its strength tested mechanically rather than by relying on visual indicators. W...
