Yesterday, I opened up the high tunnel and saw that all the 2x4 rafter supports had fallen over, after the snow had slid off the roof, I needed to use additional 1 1/2" spacers on all of them to get them in place again. It was interesting to learn that the snow had caused an inch and a half sag in the roof, that is quite a bit more than I was guessing.

We have had a little bit of snow over the last 24 hours, so I decided to install some mid span supports under the ridge purlin in the high tunnel. The first picture is without the 2x4 14' installed.
I didn't go up and measure, but it looked like the snow had drifted to about 18" deep up near the ridge.
This is what our winter test crops look like after a week of temperatures down in the negatives.
Most of the big drift has slid off the roof.
