Hello All,
Our next storm may include some sleet and rain which makes for heavy snow. I just read this bulletin from Hanover Insurance regarding snow and roofs, I thought it might be helpful.
The unprecedented snow load on roofs in the Northeast has led to some building damage and
collapse. According to reports from several localities, schools, churches, commercial and
residential buildings, carports and awnings have been affected.
As the next in a series of winter storms moves into the region, property owners and residents
should be aware of the weight loads these storms may be creating, especially on flat roofs.
Take the following precautions to protect life and property:
Watch for falling snow and ice from roofs.
