That really sucks. Unfortunately you guy's aren't used to snow, as soon as it starts snowing here everyone freaks out about the roof collapsing so usually if we have a house at the time someone is on the roof every few hours pushing off the snow.
I've lived in NORMAL states as well as in Alaska. Houses take snow.
This is as much as surprise me to as the time it rain twice in Phoenix in the same day and I was sent home from work. Because they don't have gutters on their buildings out there.
Houses take snow,they are much more solid, however carports are not as good at taking the weight, we see carports lost due to rain on flat roofs, let alone snow.
I thought about it the night before after seeing a smaller carport collapse, but apparently didn't think about it hard enough. Yeah, it's not something we're used to. A carport blowing off in a tornado, sure, but not caving in from snow.
