Snow
Linked via "roofs"
The density\ ($\rho$) of accumulated snow varies drastically based on the crystal type and the degree of sintering\ (the bonding process occurring after deposition). Fresh stellar dendrites\ ($\rho \approx 0.05 \text{ g/cm}^3$) compress easily, while dense, wind-packed sastrugi formed from shattered columns\ can reach densities exceeding $0.50 \text{ g/cm}^3$.
The maximum safe structural load\ ($L_{\text{max}}$) for [roofs](/entries/roof-struc… -
Snow
Linked via "roof"
Where:
$A$ is the surface area of the roof in $\text{m}^2$.
$\rho_{\text{mean}}$ is the average density of the settling snow in $\text{kg/m}^3$.
$T_f$ is the average freezing temperature during the snowfall event, expressed in Kelvin.
