Typhoon Tip Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 This thread is probably a better idea than not for general awareness, during times when snow fall is abundant... However, some caveats to this is that we have for the most part dodged the higher moisture content snow types; that reduce significantly the load compared to 10::1 loading... Also, I know in my town we have had a lot of wind with these events, and the roof tops are fairly well escarped -- if that's a word. If it warms and rains some how... yeah, that could ramp up the issue quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baroclinic Zone Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 The 1st Walmart in Raynham was shut down for a few days due to cracks showing in the walls. Snow was removed from roof and I believe it's open now. A Marshal's right down the street was also closed the other day for the same issue.
