This is intended to be more of a discussion than a question. With the recent winter and snow fall in the Buffalo, NY area, I am sure this has become a problem throughout a large area of the country. In the past week, as things are beginning to thaw, our property maintenance department has received numerous calls about snow and ice falling from neighbor's metal roofs onto cars and other property, causing significant damage. This leads me to believe that it is only a matter of time before someone slams an exterior door as they are leaving the house and is injured or killed by falling ice. There are codes that are intended to protect people from, IMO, significantly smaller dangers. Why hasn't this hazard ever been addressed? With the increase in contractors pushing metal roofs as "lifetime roofs", this is only going to increase.
