This section does not apply to altitudes above 1500 m unless otherwise stated. This European standard contains dated or undated reference provisions from other publications.

In windy conditions, snow drift can occur on any roof with obstructions as it causes aerodynamically shaded areas where snow accumulates. In the design of these parts of a roof that extend beyond the walls, in addition to the load on that part of the roof, the snow protruding over the edge of the roof must be taken into account.

The mass-weight density of the abdomen changes. It generally increases with the duration of the snow cover and depends on the location, climate and altitude of the site.
