Hi,
I am a local contractor and agree with you.  If no additional precip falls
than the weight will only go down.  The news has not clearly stated the
problem.  The big problem is with porch roofs or additions that are under
the main roof.The porch roof, being unheated and usually flater than the
main roof, holds lots of snow.  The snow melt from the main roof now melts
and falls on the lower roof where it will be traped and add lots of
weight.  I just came back from a porch collapes (sp) estimate in
Mickyville.  Lack of maintanance was the major cause of their problem but
the snow speeded up an inevetable failer.

Paul
