The current structural design provisions are prevalently based on experience and on the assumption of stationary meteorological conditions. However, the observations of past decades and advanced climate models show that this assumption is debatable. Therefore, this paper examines the long-term trends in ground snow load maxima, and their impact on structural reliability. For this purpose, the Carpathian region is selected, and data from a joint research effort of nine countries of the region are used. According to our knowledge, the long-term trends in extreme snow loads, i.e. annual maxima, for this region has not been sufficiently studied yet.
