Makes me wonder if that causes structural damage, that rapid release of compression stress.
AnHonestLiar
It wouldn't have been compressive in most elements, it would be tension. And the release wasn't _that_ rapid because of how it slid off.
leontheprofessional
Nah, every building in an area with snow accounts for snow load which is considered a dead load so it’s a constant. No issue with structural

Now there's a bunch of square snow in front of the door

The 2 first words in the building far back means Tokyo.

No tlistening to the gif but looks liek Japanese behind em on the left

The three characters on the building in the background say "Tokyo" and "heavy," but this is way too much snow for Tokyo.

Well, i'd rather plow again than deal with a collapsed roof!

And that's how an avalanche starts. A little snow falls, a relatively low impact or tremor gets it moving, and suddenly it's a snow tsunami

Calm down professor, we all know how avalanches work.

Some of the most dangerous avalanches happen when deep densely packed snow freezes, and then light unpacked snow drops ontop of it.
The light unpacked snow will flow down at an insane rate and bury you easily. Kinda like how water in a river can flow at different speeds
at different depths making them dangerous even if it looks slow.

“Snow tsunami” is really awkward yet really satisfying to say.

Guy I knew from school died doing this at his work. He was crushed by the snow. Didn't know that was even a thing being I live in the desert

We would do this at our shop in Alaska, idiots would try to go out to get a look. "WHATS gonna happen?" YOURE GONNA DIE! GET INSIDE MORON!
LanttuLaatikko
In any area that has regular snowfall that's a known fact. Rooftop snow wheighs tons and kills you, often by suffocation.
I grew up in the desert and learning that was insane!
JuddDocherty
Is this fun or is it like necessary or everyone inside will die in a collapse.
Florida native no snow experience.
AgentCatherine
It’s a lot of weight on the roof, plus it’s cold so the building heater has to work harder.
Also, I’m partially wrong. Apparently the snow insulates??♀️
RobearGWJ
Necessary. The roof is not strongly angled so it will accumulate snow, enough to crush it eventually.
Also, the roof will slowly melt the snow with heat from within, leading to an unpredictable avalanche that could bury someone.
So why don't they build at a higher pitch? What if you're not going to be around when there's a lot of snow.
Would your neighbor handle this job for you just seeing it?
Usually it's to save money in areas that don't get a lot of snow. I dunno otherwise...
VirtualKitsune
tbh unless its big enough to cause a structural problem i woudnt bother as thats free insulation
solosysygy
The problem is that if you don’t intentionally trigger it, it might occur anyway at a bad time
Nope. The melt at the snow-roof interface will create a slippery layer that could drop the snow at any time, without warning.
See I’m lost on this one. It’s ice on the roof, doesn’t that make it harder to heat the building?
snow has lots of air in it that helps keep heat in thats how igloos work
Brb, building igloo
Naw snow is a great insulator, its just important that you arent in direct contact with it or the ground. Basically the best form of
insulation is one designed to trap air in pockets and then act as a non conductive material to slow transfer between the air (and reduce
wind chill) Snow will keep a place cold without a constant source of heat, but it will also keep a place evenly warmed and at a consistent
temperature with just a mild source of heat. So mild, that your body can act as that source of heat in a properly made snow shelter.
