That's not all you have to do. I'll let people who've owned houses in snowy climates amplify that.

In a building, water is your eternal enemy. Keeping it out of places where it doesn't belong accounts for a good part of the other things you have to do.

Well, I own a cabin in a location that gets 300+" of snowfall yearly. I'm pretty familiar with it.

I am also familiar with the climate of Berlin, where it barely snows, and when it does snow, it only very rarely accumulates.
