Thin-set dry stack natural limestone

    I have a question about the subject exterior wall finish.  It is on a high end residence that is in located in the dry climate zone 7, which has high snow fall amounts, which lasts most of the winter.  My question is how likely will water from the melting snow get behind the thin-set stone and freeze, and cause the stone to release from the substrate?
