snow damage
Ice load harm
Snow damage is harm caused by snow accumulation, whether from sheer weight collapsing roofs and branches, ice formation cracking pipes, or melting snow seeping into structures.
Insurance policies often distinguish snow damage from other weather-related claims: The adjuster assessed the snow damage to our gutters.
The term appears frequently in contexts involving property, vehicles, and landscaping.
