5 gallon bucket of snow we have now weighs the
same as a level full bucket of wet snow?
NOPE, what they are saying is that a five gallon bucket of fluffy snow's weight will not change with temperature. If you weigh it outside and then bring it in and melt it to water, it will weigh exactly the same. Volume will decrease as the water changes state from solid to liquid but the weight never changes. So without adding more snow or rain, the snowload on the roof stays the same the fluffy snow just decreases in volume.
Now on that roof as snow changes state to water, the water will run off and decrease the weight. Nothing to do with temperature only gravity.
