Can mostly handle. Snow blindness is a thing, and that's all diffuse reflection too, not specular. But it's unlikely a roof would be such a problem.

The reason for snow blindness is the fact the snow fills such a high portion of the visual field.

[–] Silentiea@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

Yeah, hence it's unlikely a roof would fill it to the same extent and wouldn't be a problem.
