Building inspectors in Waynesboro say collapses like chicken coops during this weather can be expected, because they are unregulated by counties and cities.

They say that does not mean homes and buildings are out of the picture.

In Waynesboro, they have gotten reports of snow related structure problems including a deck collapse in the city this past week.

They say many homes built before the 1970's can definitely see problems with the continuous snow because codes regulating structures were not put into place at the time.

They also say storms one after the other pose an even bigger threat to roofs on homes and certain buildings.

Waynesboro Deputy Building Official Bill Butler says, "All bets are off when you get stuff like this. Igloos I guess...igloos don't fail too often."

Butler says most buildings are going to be fine despite more snow.

As for homes, he says if you have a flat roof that is accessible, it would be a good idea to shovel as much off of the top as you can.

For reference, Page County emergency officials say each cubic foot of snow weighs about 13 to 16 pounds.
