Crockett County, TX Roof Snow Load - 0 psf
Crockett County, TX roof snow load, translated
A typical heated home in Crockett County is designed to carry 0 pounds per square foot of snow on its roof, per ASCE 7-22.
On a roof that means 0 in. of fresh snow, 0 in. once it packs down, or 0 in. of solid ice - three very different piles for the same load. Snow load is not a factor in roof design here at all; the ground snow load figure maps to zero.

Crockett County: average annual snowfall
Crockett County sees about 0.4 in. of snow most winters, per the SHEFFIELD, TX US station's 1991-2020 NOAA normal. 25.2 mi is a real gap between Crockett County and its nearest reporting station, so local snowfall can diverge from this figure, especially near elevation changes.

The figure above assumes the case ASCE 7-22 treats as typical: a heated, ordinary-occupancy home on a partially exposed site. Change any of those - exposure, heating, roof pitch, occupancy category - and the real design number moves.
