Really it depends on your situation.

Even with adequate pitch, snow load can become a problem when you're looking at feet of snow especially if it becomes saturated with moisture. Yes there are building codes that take under consideration such things, but depending on the age of the building and how it was constructed there are like anything else limitations to the engineering that was done even with modern construction.
