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
