After several significant snow storms over the last couple of weeks...a deep snowpack remains across a large portion of the tri- state area. A general 10 to 30 inches of snow depth remains on the ground...with the deepest snow depth values across connecticut.
3 to 5 inches of snow water equivalent is in the current snowpack across the area. This results in a tremendous amount of weight per square foot.
There have already been reports of collapsed roofs due to the weight of the snow...and with the threat of yet another significant storm system expected during the middle of this week...now is the time for residents and building owners to take preventative action to safely remove snow from flat roof tops and decks.
