US Snow Loads: include unbalanced snow loads

From user David Sheldrake:

Also, one other thing I noticed not on there is unbalanced snow load. It would be good to include this too as, again, it’s fairly common to consider. The most common scenario would be for a ridged (gable) roof where the snow load on one side of the roof ridge is higher than on the other. Something like the diagram below would be useful, again, giving the values in psf.
