Default Snow Cover On Roof Provides Wind Protection?

Gusts to 70 mph expected. Weather guy said that snow on roof will
lessen chances of shingles (asphalt, in my case) being lifted. Any
truth to this statement?

Is your snow heavy? Mine is.I doubt whether much snow will be blown off
the roof unless there are constant high wind speeds.

Not used to snow and wind, eh???

Out here (high plains) we're surprised if the wind doesn't blow when it
snows (or most of the rest of the time, too, for that matter)...
