Abstract
In most parts of Canada ice has a tendency to form on roofs during the winter months, particularly when there has been heave snowfall. On poorly-drained flat roofs the ice may seldom be seen, buth the occupants of the building are often made aware of its presence by loud cracking noises on cold nights. On slopiong roofs, ice is usually visible as a build-up at the eaves, often with icicles hanging down to form a pleasant winter scene. The occupants of the building may sometimes be very much aware of its presence beause of leakage of water into the building.
