I actually agree with brudgers this time as well. Maybe it is true, the world is coming to an end.

I would say regardless of the terminology (awning, canopy, porch roof) it would need to be capable of resisting the snow/wind loads in your area. The only exceptions we make are for the retractable awnings, which can be rolled up in high wind or snow conditions.
