Snow drift geometry
Snow drift geometry
(OP)
Based on design load principals of ASCE 7-10 and this unusual geometry, what would the snow drift profile look like?

I have architects install canted roofs on the back side of parapets that would help eliminate drift (at least in accordance with the code). I require these roofs to be pitched 6:12 and require the vertical section of the parapet hc<hb. It appears as if you you have a similar situation. If your roof was new I might be more conservative (why waste a bunch of time) than if it was existing and I was trying to get something to work.
