The amount of time Santa spends at each individual house has been covered and is on the order micro-seconds....I would use Cd = 1,000, personally. You are covered in my opinion.

Subject: Re: Reindeer live loadRemember, the load is spread across the rails of the sleigh. Also, don't forget the temporary loading, hence Cd = 1.25.Pretty soon, every roof will be "green," and roof LL will be 100 psf minimum... Yay!On Wed, Dec 24, 2008 at 7:24 PM, <erik_g@cox.net> wrote:
Holy crap, I just realized that the 40psf for residential roof LL is not

I think we should lobby to have the LL changed to 60 psf for roof LL.
