Hi Benny -- I feel your pain about the late snowstorms!

A low tunnel made using PVC pipe, covered with plastic sheeting, will hold up to snow if you either connect the tops of the hoops and then anchor the end ones a few feet from the end of the tunnel, so they can't collapse inward. Or, if you criss-cross the hoops, the way Anderwood does... I know he posted a photo fairly recently on another thread, I'll go see if I can find it and post the link here...

Here's a link to the whole thread: The thread "Snow peas, carrots, spinach" in Ask a Question forum

and this is the specific post and photo that I was thinking of: http://garden.org/thread/view_...

I hope this is helpful!
