i agree, high winds & snow load would most likely cause some damage. the only thing to prevent snow damage would be to not use the greenhouse during the snow season. as for wind, i would imagine that there should be a way to anchor the frame to a base. maybe making a base out of 6x6 timbers anchored to the ground and then securing the greenhouse frame to the timbers....? i dunno, i'm just shooting from the hip here.....
