Collapse from Weight of Snow—Awnings

We are wondering about collapse coverage for awnings under homeowners form HO 00 03 10 00. The area we live in was recently hit by a severe winter storm and the awnings over porches collapsed in many places due to the weight of ice and snow. Some insurers are denying coverage because the weight of ice and snow did not cause damage to property contained in a building. May we have your thoughts?
