In the winter in snowy climates, a buildup of snow and ice can block the vent pipe and keep it from working properly. When there is a heavy snowfall it's possible that the exhaust vents on the roof can become covered with snow. Roof vents work by allowing hot air to escape from the attic, which helps to regulate the temperature and prevent moisture buildup. Ice and snow can accumulate around the vents and sometimes stay there for weeks at a time during the coldest months, which will block air from flowing through the ventilation system.
