Having delt with snow in Northern Wisconsin - Lake Superior snow belt for over 50 years here is some of the things I have found. The actural depth of the snow is of little importance, it is the kind of snow that makes up the depths. Heavy wet snows are more troublesome than dry powdery snows. Removing the snow near the edge of a roof lessens the formation of ice dams and the rewulting leaks, but the weight of snow nearer the ridge on non truss roofs is more likely to crack rafters. The real danger in deep snow is not the snow but what happens when the weather warms up. If or when you get a heavy wet snow or even worse a rain the snow acts as a sponge and holds this liquid adding to the weight, this is what collapses roofs. I hope this helps you.
