fall and our current warming trend has significantly increased the water
content in snow accumulations, and as a result the weight of that snow.
With additional precipitation in the forecast this could further increase water
content and the weight of snow loads. This is of particular concern for
residents and property owners with roofs that are flat or have a minimal
pitch. Citizens are advised to be aware of the potential danger heavy
snow loads present to structures and are asked to take necessary precautions to
reduce that danger.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
