They do. If roofs are leaking that means drainage issues. Given the freezing/thaw, not surprising that flat roof drainage is being backed up. also, flat roofs have a rubber-tar sealing compound in place of shingles, so makes me wonder about the age and what gaps occurred in the sealing.

snow or rain is fine, when you get one then the other, it weighs a shit ton and goes nowhere fast.
