Holy cow, I am so amazed with how resilient this Kodiak Lodge Cabin tent is! This was quite the experience and I felt like I got there just in the nick of time!

Tent isn't really that bad! Get the snow off & tighten up your lines & done. Easy peasy lemon squeezy

I think I would build a shelter roof thing that would cover my tent if I’m camping in a wet snowy or in a rainy conditions long term.

At some point you may want to consider building a simple, yet sturdy pergola type structure over the tent. Something with corrugated roof panels that would shed the snow and keep it off the tent. Just an idea for the future

Flagstaff can get as much as four feet of snow. My wife and I drove out to Flagstaff in 1997. We kept noticing huge piles of snow on large vacant lots. Finally we got into a conversation with a Navajo man that worked in Flagstaff. He said a snow front came in and circled the mountain there. It dumped snow for 17 straight hours. When it was over people had to drop out of windows. They took almost a week for the town to open up completely. It can snow insane amounts out there occasionally. Glad everything was okay after you dug out. Take care my friend. Vaughn

I've said it before... but tipis and yurts are designed for both high winds and snow... Maybe a little too granola for your style. lol In any case, an internal 2*4 frame structure will be 100% more storm worthy than merely pole end supports and tensioned rope pull outs.

Just so you know Juniper is quite a bit harder of a wood than pine is by about 70% roughly. Pain may burn hotter because of the Sap. and just a sidenote, you may want to think about a spark arrestor of some sort, your smokestack.

A tent with a slope like that is no bueno. Sort of a field tent. I would not leave it set up when gone. Thats a bummer however. I bet something with a different pitch would be fine. As for the wood...if staying up with wood processing is hard, time-wise or finger-wise, there are pretty cheap hydrolic and more expensive electric wood splitters that make life easy. That and a chainsaw (even a battery powered chainsaw) and your golden. I personally just baton wood, but I am not set up in a semi-permanent camp like you are.
