You can't let the snow build up AT ALL. I've had days where the driveway was clear when I went to work in the morning, and came home to >12" of accumulation. That much snow would collapse one of those shelters, and there would be nothing I could do about it.
Certainly true that if you let a foot accumulate it will collapse, but I have had up to 6" on it. That doesn't happen very often here in Vancouver. I get that there are places where this set up won't work, but here in the warm wet PNW, it works just fine. And while you are suffering through another ice storm, we are forecast to have another unseasonably dry and warm winter;)
