MarkO Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Seriously? How much snow is on the roof? How old is the house? It's not the age (built in '82), it's more likely the undersized roof joists, 2x4 wall construction. I first noticed cracks back in 2011, but since then had those cracks filled and re-painted. I'll edit this post with a photo (as soon as it is sent from my phone to my email). As for the roof load, it's highly variable. Some drifts are probably closing in on 4', but I have more areas that are only a couple inches. Overall, I'd say it's probably 2' average. Still it's a decent water content, maybe 15-20 #/s.f, but that's only a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 It has snowed seemingly for 282450 straight hours.Bos 47/49 hrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy4Confluence Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Have no idea of my official depths up here, but the storm last week lost me on the numbers. This storm has been more gentle. Just saw BOS at around 75" now. Anyone have any numbers for Lowell, let alone Dracut Or anywhere else in the Merrimac Valley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick-02540 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 The stuff in CT is falling apart. Oh well I guess we can't win'em all.I picked up half inch in the last hour; the radar blob is about to nail Hartford and then Fort Tolland.

I've got some places where different roofs meet that need attention. But our house is new - 2x6 - so my only concern is ice damns - which I doubt will be an issue soon.

MarkO Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I was thinking the same thing. That's pretty scary if the cracks have appeared all of a sudden. It's only one wall and it's where the second floor bathroom, mater bed closed overhangs. I'm not really worried. I see it more of an annoyance as I believe the original builder probably did not have the house designed to meet snow loads for this part of the country.

I believe they undersized the roof joists (I think they are 2 x 8 over a 16' span). Seems small to me, of course the walls are only 2 x 4 so that doesn't help much either.

BostonWX Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I have sick ice dams here, but its a royal barry wills cape so the roof is pitched like a mofo. Seriously steep rooflines but man, killer ice dams.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I picked up half inch in the last hour; the radar blob is about to nail Hartford and then Fort Tolland.Yeah that looks good for an hour or 90 mins of light to mod with fluffy flakes.

Dotb Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Snowin pretty dang good here in Andover Was just about to say the same thing. Reading all of these post-mortems, and I'm looking out the window, and we've still got pretty strong moderate snow pouring down. Seems like every storm this year just lasts a few hours longer than you think, and tacks on a few more inches in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkO Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Lowell was at 15.4" as of 3:46 and we've gotten over an inch since then. If I can get to 18.5", that would put Lowell over 80" in 17 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
