Message: [QUOTE="Ottoble, post: 1473746, member: 2539"] Yup however it's greatly reduced by the roofs draining inward to roof drains not pitching off the side towards areas below, which is generally standard practice in most high rise design. Sometimes overflow drains are allowed to scupper off the side but usually not towards the street. It still does happen sometimes, usually when workers foolishly shovel snow and ice off the roof over the parapet and down on to the street. It is also it's not as consistently cold down there which means less snow less week to week accumulation and fewer large icicles. When I lived there I was surprised how much of a difference the ocean, harbor, and urban heat island effect has in the winter. [/QUOTE]
