The pitch of your roof is generally determined by the span of the sidewalls and the desired roof height.
The north zone middle zone and the south zone are identified on the roof load zone map above.
Section 1608 snow loads.
When using figure 1608 2 for sites at elevations above 1 000 feet 304 m the ground snow load shall be increased from the mapped value by 2 psf 0 095 kn m 2 for every 100 feet 30 48 m above 1 000 feet 304 m.
The north zone design live load equates to 40 pounds per square foot the middle zone equates to 30 pounds per square foot and the south zone equates to 20 pounds per square foot.
Or the 25 psf snow load could be entered as a roof snow load with the unbalanced snow loading option turned off.
