UH-1 Snow load on blades

How much of a snow and Ice load can a UH-1H helicopter blade take sitting on the ramp?

Will take a 200 pound guy sitting on the tip so don't think you have much to worry about. Done to strap rotor down prior to sling loading by Chinook - at least one technique I saw used.
