That's interesting about snow load. I have never seen more than 4 inches of snow stay on any of my pole barn roofs here in Minnesota - Or any roof for that matter. We have had more snow than that of course, but since the roof is slanted it doesn't stay on it. Especially with metal roofs. ...snip!
I live in northern Minnesota and I can Guarantee that more than 4 inches will accumulate on a roof. Last year we had more than a couple of feet accumulation, and many people shovel their roofs to reduce the load. There are even professional roof shovelers who will do your roof for a fee.
We must live in a different Minnesota. I find your comments on never seeing more than 4 inches of snow on a roof and never seeing anyone in the entire state having to shovel a roof to be incredible. And I am certain that most houses 60 to 70 years old don't necessarily have what you might define as a "healthy roof".
