    Depends on if the snow is "wet" or dry snow. Also, how much vertical support does the awning have? Usually an awning can hold up to 2' of snow before it buckles. Any more than that the awning needs to be cleared of at least some snow cleared safely that is. Use a broom or small shovel around the edges of the awning.
