NY Snow Load

[engineer817]

I usually don't ask project specific questions but I am in a pinch. Could someone give me the roof or ground snow load for Skaneateles, NY in Onondaga County. I have ordered the building code and it probably won't be here until next week and I really need to start the design of this project. It is listed as a case study in the ASCE and IBC. Help would be much appreciated.

From the New York State Building Code's figure 1608.2, I would use a gorund snow load of 55 psf.

I would agree with mike the engineer, towns often have their own required snow load that may not be the same as the code.
