Yes, badly designed roofs are like that. Either you live in a different Minnesota, or you don't notice the ice dams that are creating the need for shoveling roofs. I have never seen any one anywhere in this state having to shovel off a healthy roof in the last 6 or 7 decades.

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.
