we had our first decent amount of snow last year (eastern Kansas) on our
hoophouse and that's exactly what we did - just basically pushed the snow
off from the inside with our hands - or a broom - we learned quickly not to
sweep it off from the outside! we had a fair amount built up a few times
and it was sagging pretty well but it didn't hurt anything.

p.s. I'm loaded with questions but in the middle of harvesting and cooking
for a winter market tomorrow - last chance to make money this year!
