Depending where you are on the planet, frost penetration into the ground can extend to a depth of 5 feet. Assuming you live in the UK, where most of the residential buildings foundations extend 2 feet below grade level, the frost will lift the building foundations out of the ground. When the frost thaws the building will not settle to it's original foundation depth and accordingly the building will collapse, in part, due to structural stresses,

What affects do avalanches have on buildings?

Avalanches can cause extensive damage to buildings, including structural collapse, destruction of roofs and walls, and damage to foundations. Buildings in avalanche-prone areas should be built to withstand the forces exerted by avalanches, with reinforced structures, avalanche barriers, or relocation to safer areas. Mitigation measures such as snow fences, deflectors, and controlled detonations can also help reduce the impact of avalanches on buildings.
