Abstract
The paper surveys some experiences from northern Sweden with its cold winters now and then interrupted by mild (zero) weathers. Roofing is a question of handling some loads and the interaction between snow melting and re-freezing, imposing special care for draining and bearing strength, particularly on pitched roofs. Winter 1987-88 brought heavy snow to the coast area, causing some collapses followed by discussion about snow shoveling costs versus higher standard snow loads.
