Snow Load?

[Glenn996]

So not sure what your best practices are, but this is a shot today before I took the snow off the roof. Second time in 7 days (yeah it's been a crappy winter).
I know several people that store their trailers away from where they live and will go months without seeing it. Would have been catastrophic for me if I'd done that.

Well, if you can walk on it, that's like 200 lbs per sq foot (more for me)

a little snow weighs a lot less I would assume ????

Yes, I would get pretty nervous with a big snow load on the roof. If it's deep and it gets rain on it or starts melting, that stuff gets heavy in a hurry. Plus I think a heavy load can make the roof sag between the rafters if left there long enough.
Last year I caught it just in time on my storage building.
I happened to go out there one day and was looking around and noticed one of the ceiling joist was starting to sag and was split.
I got a brace under it and a few more to make the winter. Then pulled what I could off the roof with a snow rake.

And I was worried about NWIN Snow loading. I use a "Snow Board" foam thing to pull snow off trailer roof except near TV antena(worthless thing.)
Neighbors really laugh watching me fight ladder thru drifts & "plowing camper" as they call it. Worst was snowthrower-ing 90' path to road to get trailer to factory this Feb.20th.

I took a foot and half off mine the day before we got a big storm of 12 more with Ice and rain then freeze I left the 6 inches on there that was ice so I didn't get close to the roof itself in feer I would hurt it. Right now all snow is off and we got 4 " yesterday. so far no leakes.
