I've never noticed that snow drift on your house before. I've seen the wind blowing from the street but that must have come from the left more. I don't suppose there's anything you could do to prevent it aside from extending that upper roofline over the garage.
That's about the only spot where snow accumulates, but generally it gets blown away before too long. Over the years there have been a couple of times where I was concerned about the snow load but nothing bad has ever happened. This year has been a "good" snow year but we have had higher accumulations in the past and everything stayed steady. So although it would be an interesting challenge to design a roof modification to prevent or minimize the load, think I will let it be for now. (I've been experimenting with ChatGPT lately. Here's the output generated by the chatbot from inputting the above paragraph that I wrote... Just experimenting :))Snow usually accumulates only in that one spot, but it tends to get blown away quickly. Although there were a few times over the years when I was worried about the snow load, nothing bad ever happened. This year's snowfall has been quite heavy, but we've had even higher accumulations before and everything remained stable. While it might be an interesting challenge to come up with a roof modification to reduce the load, I think I'll leave it as is for now.
