# If snow falls and solidifies on top the schach, it doesn't render the sukkah not kosher, and one can still eat in it and some poskim permit saying a beracha of leshev basukkah in this situation. <ref> Sh"t Ginat Veradim 4:7, Moed Likol Chai 21:20, Bikkurei Yaakov 626:7. Aruch Hashulchan 629:2 however only permits saying a beracha if the schach is still more than the snow. see Yalkut Yosef Moadim page 125 and Chazon Ovadia Sukkot page 37. </ref>
