What does the metrodome roof collapse have to do with signs in Minnesota?
Lots, because whatever caused the metrodome to collapse, can also cause your sign to fall. What was it? SNOW, LOTS & LOTS OF SNOW.
The reason I bring this up is because as I have been going around town, I have been seeing lots of channel letters on raceways and awnings still covered with snow.

As you can see, the white fluffy stuff ain’t so light when it gets stuck on top. Your wall sign or awning could be experiencing some stress from the snow load. We had a call this week about an awning bending due to the snow. The first thing I told them to do was to brush it off.
That is what you should do as well. Go out side and brush off your awning today. My wife (baby doll) and I were outside of a popular Roseville, MN mall and I noticed as we walked outside of the mall, all of the snow just hanging off the awnings waiting to fall on top of some unsuspecting pedestrian. Though I think it would make a great YouTube video, I doubt the victim would find it as funny.
Here is another photo of why to take a look at your wall sign…………
