Reply to comment by siebzy in Alright folks, 25” since Friday another 8-12” on the horizon followed by rain. At what point should I seriously consider shoveling the roof? by [deleted]

Porch and garage roofs collapse for two reasons; because they tend to be flatter plus they do not have heated living space underneath to help melt the snow

I would also guess that those types of structures aren't necessarily built with the same level of care or maintained as well as the main house.

When people add porches on they don't want to block the view from the second floor, nor the one from the first. So they need flat-ish roofs.
