“The clothing is not only resistant to trees, but also to building construction. When it snows like this for the third day in a row, its mass on the roofs can become critical.
We remind you that to prevent disasters, it is necessary to remove the thick layer of snow accumulated on roofs, decks, gazebos, warehouses, pavilions, balconies, other temporary buildings, since the increased loads may not support the construction of buildings and cause collapse.
