I've had 6+ inches of some wet snow in Colorado on mine....didn't seem to affect it at all. You can stand on these things, so I would imagine a foot or 2 of snow wont be an issue......6 feet-- thats a different thing....just brush it off with a push broom.

I would suggest talking with customer support at the manufacture. I have not used mine all winter but will be using mine at least by May. I am waiting for the snow to melt.

I have no idea yet. We haven't even taken out the box do to all the snow we have had here in Maryland. Once spring comes and we get good weather here I would love to help with your questions. Sorry I couldn't help with your questions at this time. In a couple weeks I may be able to help you with them if your still interested.

I am not an expert, but if you don't need the all weather kit in Alaska where do you need it. The difference in price is not that much, so why not be safe and go all-weather.

I haven't used it yet. I got it to use for catching melting snow in my garage and didn't have any snow after I received it. Ill have to wait til next winter to try it out. Sorry

Janet, I am sorry I am unable to answer your question. It was a gift for my daughter. Until the snow goes away, she will not be able to use it. Check back after the Spring thaw and I might have an answer. Good luck.

You would be fine, even though my wife hasn't used ours, she could very easily. Fired mine up Saturday for the first time; didn't change oil or do anything but add gas, electric start, it puttered for a second and knocked out 6 inches of snow flawlessly. :)

Bonnie, I'm sorry but we never have HEAVY snow here in Texas where I live. I have had one of the signal balls for about ten years....this is my second one, and the only problem I have had is "high winds" dislodge it once in a great while. My first one had to be replaced after many years because the Texas heat finally made the plastic break. I really love it though. I'm 86 years old and it saves me unnecessary trips out to the mailbox. Have a good weekend! Sue Milliron, Marlin, TX

Mine held up to a rough Michigan winter. You're supposed to knock off excess snow throughout the season but I only did that if it was more than about 4 inches at a time

I sure didn't have a problem with it. We had quite a bit of snow this winter and mine worked perfectly. Mine is pretty exposed to the west and north so could be the snow was blown off. I love mine. Saves trips out to the mailbox.

Zero! You will need to slide 2x4 16 panels 10' in length in each panel, then build a 2x4 framed wall and place temporally in the middle! It carried 3' of snow! If you want snow load go with American about 2,800.00. At Lowes
