Terre Haute rarely gets a lot of snow. In 78 we got wind along with snow. I remember shoveling snow off the south side of my roof. House was making strange sounds like was about to cave in . Wind came out of the North and the south side house had about 3 ft of snow. Snow drift along the south side of house was all the way to the roof. No way did I get 24 inches of snow, but the wind made 4-6 drifts.
We had many roofs collapse, many were either flat roofs or pole barns.
All that got me to thinking, what would happen if the south side of my roof were covered with solar collectors and then covered with all the snow. Would the snow load damage the collectors? How would I have removed all the snow. Bigger question does homeowners cover the solar collector damage from snow, hail, wind?
Anyone digging out form the blizzard have solar collectors or know anyone who does? What about roofs collapsing?

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
